The Joint Response Group can now confirm that ministers have formally approved full contact training for Scottish Premiership clubs from today, Monday 29 June.

We would therefore encourage clubs to inform all Team Staff as soon as possible to facilitate the updated guidance, and clarify that the approval for full contact training is inclusive of all Phase 4 requirements outlined in the Joint Response Group Return to Training protocols reissued on Friday.

Ministers have underlined that this return to full contact training is subject to observing public health measures, including testing.
