Scottish Football Association chief executive Ian Maxwell believes a return to action in August is likely after the 2019/20 Premiership season was ended earlier this week.
September or October had previously been mooted as possible return dates but Maxwell is more optimistic.
"I think it is likely that we will see football in August," he said.
"We are seeing it in countries across Europe.
"I think it is definitely achievable, the plans we are putting in place are comprehensive.
"We have to make sure we are giving government comfort that we can do it in a manner that keeps the players, the staff, everybody involved in the game safe, and I'm sure we can do that."
