All three north SPFL clubs who have had their season suspended will explore using the furlough scheme again. Peterhead, Cove Rangers and Elgin City have had their fixtures up until January 30 postponed, due to the Scottish FA shutting down football below the Championship for a three-week period. During the last lockdown over the summer, between the 2019-20 season being ended and pre-season starting for the new campaign, a large number of SPFL clubs used the furlough scheme to ease some of their financial burden. The coronavirus job retention scheme was extended by the UK Government last month until the end of April this year. They used it last year with Tatters at one stage suggesting they would struggle to survive as a club if the scheme was not extended.
