This decision was taken to renege on previous pronouncement which suspended the current season until April 3.

The Scottish FA have issued an official statement to push fixtures further back after all stakeholders ‘unanimously agreed’ to increase the suspension of the country’s football across all levels.
“The Scottish FA board met via video conference this morning to discuss the implications of the most up-to-date government and medical advice on the governing body’s suspension on football," the memo on the SFA's official website reads.
“Based on this advice, it has unanimously agreed to extend the suspension at all levels of the game from professional to recreational until at least 10 June.”
Scottish FA President Rod Petrie said of the ruling: "The message is very clear: the government restrictions introduced to save lives must be adhered to and there is no prospect of an early resumption of training let alone organised football in Scotland for several weeks.”
"The decision to suspend all football until at least 10 June is to help clubs ensure the safety and wellbeing of players, staff and supporters as well as take steps to mitigate their costs.”
