The Scottish Professional Football League has released 1.8 million pound (USD 2.2 million) to lower-league clubs after the season outside the Premiership was ended due to the coronavirus.
In a controversial vote, clubs opted to conclude the Championship, League One and League Two campaigns and the SPFL has now sent end-of-season payments to clubs in the lower three divisions.
"The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Scottish football has been devastating, with no club left untouched or undamaged by the restrictions placed on our everyday life," said SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster.
"This unprecedented situation has left clubs facing the stark reality of an extremely challenging financial landscape that could have seen a number of our clubs simply cease to exist.
"These funds will help bridge the gap and support clubs through this incredibly difficult period."
