Clubs may "revolt" or face administration if forced to play behind closed doors without financial help, says Ayr United chairman Lachlan Cameron.

Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell believes the game can resume in August as lockdown measures are eased.

But Cameron says it is "impossible" for his Scottish Championship club and others to function without fans and no new funds to replace gate receipts.

"You'd have clubs going to the wall sooner or later," Cameron tells BBC Scotland.

Footballer Tom Beadling believes he and several team-mates will be in a "precarious situation" and may have to find work outside of football after their release by Dunfermline Athletic.

The Scottish Championship club yesterday announced they will let 17 players go when their deals expire at the end of May after the season was ended prematurely because of the Covid-19 crisis.

Athletic said the decision was taken to "protect the future of the club".

"There are no superstars earning five to 10 grand here, it's lads on very normal salaries," Australian midfielder Beadling said.

"I still, when I walk around, assume that everybody I meet has coronavirus, and that I have it. I don't want to infect anyone, and I don't want them to infect me," writes the BBC's medical correspondent Fergus Walsh after finding out via an antibody test that he had contracted coronavirus without showing any symptoms.

How likely children are to catch and spread coronavirus is talked about a lot when it comes to deciding how and when to reopen schools.

The problem is that Covid-19 is a new disease and not something scientists have had long to study - meaning the available data on the subject that's currently available is sparse.

Here, BBC's Health Correspondent Laura Foster explains what we do know currently about how children are affected by the virus.

"The mood music from across travel - international and domestic tourism - is of increasing desperation and frustration."

BBC Scotland's business and economy editor Douglas Fraser responds to the loss of around 2,500 jobs after the collapse of Specialist Leisure Group.

Hearts will not face face financial ruin should their relegation from the Scottish Premiership prove final.

The Edinburgh club were relegated from the Scottish Premiership on Monday after the season was ended early.

But they continue to consult clubs over their plan for league reconstruction with a view to avoiding demotion.

In the past week, there have been over 600 new pledges through Foundation of Hearts, while the club continue to have the backing of their benefactors.

Asked by reporters about Dominic Cummings, the Prime Minster's special adviser, who has faced criticism for travelling to Durham from London, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps says it was a different situation to the resignations of Dr Catherine Calderwood, Scotland's former chief medical officer, and government scientific adviser Prof Neil Ferguson.

"This wasn't visiting a holiday home or going to visit someone," he says. "This was to stay put and remain in isolation to deal with what I hear was a significant bout of coronavirus and then return to London only when well. There is every difference."

Mr Shapps says Boris Johnson knew of Cummings' whereabouts and has "his full support".

He insists that people should follow the guidance "to the best of their ability" but it was "for an individual to make the decision of how do I ensure I have enough support around the family".

Dr Jenny Harries, England's deputy chief medical officer, says the scientific and medical advice behind the self-isolation rules is "to take people symptomatic out of the public domain and those likely to develop symptoms" but adds that "the only exception is around safeguarding".

SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford has called on the head of the civil service to investigate the "rule-breaking" and the UK government’s cover-up” of Dominic Cummings’ lockdown journey to Durham.

The Prime Minister’s top aide has come under fire after it emerged he had driven 260 miles to a family home despite the guidelines on travelling – and showing symptoms of coronavirus.

Mr Cummings insists he did the "right thing" and told reporters he "behaved reasonably and legally".

In the letter to Sir Mark Sedwill and Boris Johnson, Mr Blackford highlights the “matter of serious public concern” with several questions for the PM including when he found out about the trip and what role the government played in “keeping the public in the dark for eight weeks”.

He also continued his calls for Mr Cummings to resign, stating his position as “completely untenable”.

The Labour Party has also called for an investigation.

Dr Jenny Harries, England's deputy chief medical officer, says, across all of the UK, demand for mechanical ventilator beds in hospitals has come down.

She says that 12% of such beds are occupied with Covid-19 patients - meaning there is now "significant capacity" available.

Dr Harries says that deaths are starting to come down and that, over a rolling seven-day average, it is continuing to come down.

She says that the UK is maintaining a downward trend in new confirmed cases.

Andy McDade, who runs a Lanarkshire coach firm established by his father almost 40 years ago, says surviving the winter is going to be incredibly difficult.

McDade's Coaches, like many similar firms across Scotland, is facing "almost impossible choices" as it struggles to deal with the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

He told BBC Scotland's The Nine he will have to turn down a council payment for school transport contracts in order to keep his staff employed using the furlough scheme.

Since mid-March, he is the only one of 39 people at the company who has not been furloughed. All of his 30-plus vehicles have been declared off the road and are crammed into his yard in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire.

Football is now "likely" to be played in Scotland in August, Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell tells BBC Scotland.

Non-contact outdoor sports are set to be allowed next week in phase one of the Scottish Government's restrictions easing, with football in phase two.

National clinical director Prof Jason Leitch warned there are "no guarantees" that will be in mid-June as predicted, but Maxwell said playing in August is "definitely achievable".

"I'm sure we can do that," he says while echoing the initial suggestion that players would need "touching six weeks" to be ready to play.
