Secretary Rod Houston says some of current unknowns will need to be removed before the Highland League know if the season can be completed. The suspension of football in Scotland below the Championship has been extended following talks between the SFA and Scottish Government. Although the Highland League season was reduced to a 15-game campaign, no return to action until next month at the earliest would appear to make it increasingly difficult to complete this term. Although the way ahead remains unclear, he is confident the Highland League clubs are in a good position to restart when the time allows. “It’s a credit to the clubs and the homework that has been done that the league is in this position.”Seven Highland League sides remain in this season’s Scottish Cup as well as nine teams from League One and seven clubs from League Two.
