The suspension of the Scottish football season has been extended until at least June 10 due to the coronavirus pandemic, officials announced.
League football was halted on March 13 because of the spread of COVID-19, with the season put on hold until April 30.
But a further delay has now been agreed and this week will see lower league clubs voting before Friday's 1600 GMT deadline on whether to end their respective seasons now.
The new date applies to both professional and recreational football.
"The message is very clear," said Scottish FA president Rod Petrie.
"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."
