Celtic named champions as Scottish season ends due to COVID-19 pandemic

REUTERS: Celtic have been named champions of Scotland after the clubs voted on Monday to end the season early due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scottish Professional Football League said in a statement https://spfl.co.uk/news/ladbrokes-premiership-and-spfl-season-201920-cur.

"COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on sporting competitions around the world and the repercussions will be felt for a long time."Scottish Government restrictions and deep concerns for both player and spectator safety left the SPFL with no realistic option but to call the Ladbrokes Premiership now and we thank the Premiership clubs for their support on this decision."

A similar system was used to determine final positions in Scotland's three lowest footballing tiers, which voted to end their seasons early in April.Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers were declared winners of the Championship, League One and League Two and the SPFL released end-of-season payments of over 1.8 million pounds to clubs to ease their financial burden.
