The Scottish Professional Football League is looking into a winter break for its four competitions.
A winter break could return to Scotland's top divisions, as the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) looks at how to improve its fixtures.
SPFL secretary Iain Blair explained that the governing body of Scotland's top four tiers wants to give players more time to recuperate, with international matches and European club competitions increasingly impeding their offseason breaks.
With the matches in January and February regularly postponed because of adverse winter weather, the SPFL believes a monthlong break could be the solution.
