FRASER WISHART insists PFA Scotland are open to playing games behind closed doors if the SPFL want to complete the current Scottish Premiership season.

The chief executive of the players’ union has responded after league bosses were granted the power to end Scotland’s top-flight indefinitely due to the coronavirus.

A decision on the Premiership is expected to be made on April 23 when UEFA’s executive committee come together for their monthly meeting.

Scottish football is currently postponed until June 10, but clubs have been told not to expect a return to action until at least mid-August.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Wishart said: “We certainly don't want to be a barrier if the way forward was to conclude the season and extend the contracts.

"There would have to be certain terms and conditions put in place.

"With many Premiership clubs, there's ten, 12 and in some cases 15 plus players who are out of contract.

"So there would have to be certain terms and conditions put in place, for example health and safety which is very, very important.

"We had a situation where Juventus played a game behind closed doors right at the start of this crisis and one of their players sat on the bench and had Covid and tested positive right after.

"We need to make sure that everything is clear. We would also want insurances to be in place for people to extend their contracts where they are covered by injury insurance.

"And also we would want income protection put in place as well.

"So there's certain things that could be done and if that's the way that we have to go to complete our season, then we would certainly not be obstructive to that.

"But I do think it's going to be very difficult for us in Scotland to complete the Premiership season."
