Will the traditional pre-match hand shake still go ahead ??
Simple answer - no.
Be great if they went back to the old way of just running out onto the pitch, far more exciting than the dull and boring walk out and then shake hands.

Simple answer - no.
I was at a SPFL game on Tuesday and the tannoy announcement stated that SPFL had decided that there would be no pre-match handshake between the skippers and the officials, so they just sort of nodded at each other in the centre circle before the kick off.
Then once the game started the players spend the next 90 minutes wrestling with each other, pushing, shoving and then giving each other a hand up after a tackle. Also lots of the usual celebratory cuddling (on the pitch and in the stands) after the goals. So I'm not sure how much cross contamination we collectively avoided, if I'm honest.
Is gobbing and phlegming up all over the pitch still allowed; or will there be an impressive array of sterile, sanitised spitoons placed next to each corner flag?
If so, will inadvertently 'kicking the bucket' now become a card offence?
