Scottish FA president Rod Petrie has confirmed the 2020 Scottish Cup will be played to a finish – even if it takes until next year. The ties were postponed due to the coronavirus crisis after Scottish football was placed in shutdown on March 13. But Petrie insists a 2020 Scottish Cup winner will be crowned when football is safe to resume after the Covid-19 pandemic. Uefa wrote to all 55 members outlining their recommendations if cup competitions can’t be completed due to the pandemic. “Therefore, the position intended for the cup winner will then go to the best-ranked club in the league who does not make the Champions League position.”
