The coronavirus pandemic has caused havoc with Scottish football, forcing difficult decisions and pleas for help from clubs across the country.

With the situation in a state of flux amid the shutdown, BBC Scotland brings you the latest updates from your club.

Manager Derek McInnes, his coaching staff and players are among half of the club's employees who have taken wage deferrals of between 10% and 30% for four months.

The club have also received a £2m cash injection from chairman Dave Cormack's group of investors. It is hoped these measures will "help close the looming £5m gap in cashflow" that Cormack had forecast.

Aberdeen have asked fans to buy season tickets early and sign up to the AberDNA scheme where they can contribute a small monthly fee towards the football operations, while club directors are matching 10% of as a donation to help the local community.

However, the Pittodrie club have revealed the pandemic protection cover in their insurance policy will cease at the end of April.

In terms of the SPFL's league proposal, Aberdeen confirmed they backed the resolution.

Celtic's first-team squad, manager Neil Lennon, backroom staff and club executives have taken a voluntary and "significant reduction" in salaries.

They have also agreed to defer "a significant proportion of their earnings", with the money-saving measures in place from April to June.

The Scottish Premiership leaders are looking for a "fair and reasonable solution" to the league campaign, says chief executive Peter Lawwell.

Celtic are 13 points clear of second-placed Rangers having played a game more. Lennon has insisted they should be declared champions if the campaign is not completed.

The club's charity foundation is to spend an initial £150,000 on helping vulnerable locals during the pandemic.

And the season-ticket renewal deadline has been pushed back from 1 May to 29 May.

Hamilton are second bottom of the Premiership, but have made no official comment on their preference for how the season is resolved.

Chairman Allan Maitland said: "We will be doing everything we can to protect the jobs and livelihoods of everyone connected with our club."

Hearts voted against the SPFL's proposals to end the season, with chairman Ann Budge alleging the league tried to exert "undue influence" on the ballot.

They are also calling for league reconstruction to avoid relegation and the loss of up to £3m, as they were four points adrift in the Scottish Premiership when the season was halted.

The players were initially asked to take a 50% pay cut, with captain Steven Naismith the first to publicly accept this reduction. But the club, who plan to put all players on furlough leave, now say that since the job retention scheme was introduced, no one has been asked to cut their salary by more than 30%.

Hearts were unsuccessful in securing more funds from the bank. Manager Daniel Stendel says there is a clause in his contract that frees him to leave if the club are relegated.

 

Players and senior staff have accepted wage deferrals of "between 20% and 50%" and the majority of employees will be put on furlough leave.

Chairman Ron Gordon previously warned that "difficult decisions" have to be made to help the club survive. The Easter Road club opened season ticket renewals on 27 March and have sold over 2,000.

Hibs confirmed in a statement they backed the SPFL proposals over finishing the lower-league campaign early.

Livingston signalled their intention to vote for the SPFL proposal to finish the lower-league season early and allow prize money to be released.

Livingston - who have posted a record profit of £367,530 for the year ending June 2019 - are utilising the government's furlough scheme while maintaining full pay for all staff.

And chairman Robert Wilson has provided a "six-figure sum" as an interest-free contingency fund.

The club are also offering fans the chance to become shareholders if they pay at least £20 per month until May next year. So far, 238 supporters - with month pledges totalling £7,367 - have signed up to this operating fund.

 

Concluding the Scottish football season "becomes more unrealistic" every day, says chief executive Alan Burrows.

Burrows, who sits on the SPFL board, confirmed Motherwell recently received an advanced payment of £395,000 plus VAT from the league along with Celtic and Rangers while the other top-flight clubs were paid £157,500 plus VAT.

The Fir Park chief executive clarified this is due to those being the only three teams guaranteed to finish in the top six.

Chairman Jim McMahon says the club are in a "relatively strong position" but are "looking at all possible funding packages to build up our cash reserves."

 

Rangers claim to have evidence that raises "serious concerns" over the SPFL voting process. They have called for an independent investigation and the suspension of SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster and legal adviser Rod McKenzie.

The club strongly oppose any attempt to "railroad" changes and are instead proposing the SPFL hand out prize money early to hard-up clubs. They resubmitted their resolution on Friday after the SPFL's legal adviser deemed it "not competent". They say the league told them they already have the power to loan money to clubs.

Manager Steven Gerrard, his staff, and the first-team squad have volunteered to defer their salaries for three months.

The season should be finished with all teams completing their fixtures to protect "the integrity of sport in Scotland," says Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson.

Dave King, who left his role as chairman on 27 March, said a fresh influx of cash into the club was "on hold", but Rangers countered that by claiming "significant investment" has already been received, with "further commitments" in place.

Midfielder Ross McCrorie, who is on loan at Portsmouth, tested positive for coronavirus.

 

Chairman Roy MacGregor confirmed they voted for the SPFL's resolution, and urged clubs to "trust" the SPFL board and come together to avoid years of recriminations.

The Dingwall side have put their playing squad on the government's job retention scheme but will cover any shortfall to ensure they remain on full pay.

The Ross County Foundation has launched the #ForOurPeople Campaign to work with local community groups and organisations, with a particular emphasis on constant communication with our fans and supporters that may be in need of mental health support and conversation and regular deliveries of meals to those in desperate need.

The majority of playing and non-playing staff have been furloughed, but all employees will receive full pay for April.

The club will not open season-ticket sales until the current campaign is resolved. And they are launching a youth development fund for fans who wish to provide financial support. All monies donated will go directly to the development and identification of young talent.

Owner Geoff Brown has said he agrees that the league campaign should be concluded, while he has also called for the League Cup to be scrapped for a year to ease fixture congestion next season.

St Johnstone confirmed that they voted for the SPFL's season proposal.

St Mirren have put the vast majority of their playing and non-playing staff on furlough leave, but will make up the shortfall in wages.
