Fans in Scotland may have to wait for 2021 before any football is played, according to Hearts owner Ann Budge. AFP/ANDY BUCHANANGLASGOW: Hearts owner Ann Budge questioned on Sunday whether Scottish football can"resume any time this year" even while talks continue over salvaging the country's top-flight Premiership season from the coronavirus pandemic.
Leann Dempster, the chief executive of Hearts' Edinburgh rivals Hibernian, remains"more hopeful" of finishing the current Scottish Premiership season and suggested the final eight rounds could be played in July and August. Budge has backed Rangers' move, saying the SPFL had"annoyed" clubs with the narrow scope of financial advisory firm Deloitte's review that cleared officials of"improper behaviour" over the handling of Dundee's vote into ending the lower league season after the Championship club seemingly rejected the plan only to back it days later.
Premiership leaders Celtic, bidding for a ninth successive Scottish championship, are currently 13 points ahead of second-place Rangers, with a 25 goal advantage over their arch Glasgow rivals.
