St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson has questioned the SPFL's approach to Queen tributes ahead of their clash with Celtic on Sunday.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, matches across all divisions in Scotland were postponed over the weekend as a mark of respect to Her Majesty. Ahead of the resumption of league football this weekend, league chiefs released a statement with some different options that clubs may wish to choose in order to honour the monarch.
But Saints gaffer Robinson has hinted that there should have been a more uniform approach and a clear direction on what approach to take. The Hoops, who travel to St Mirren Park on Sunday, will take on Shakhtar Donetsk this evening and it was revealed earlier today that there would now be no minute's silence ahead of the Champions League clash.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Robinson said: "I think it's a question for the league to answer, why they haven't given everybody one way to do it.
"In terms of the football club, the powers that be above me will decide what we do to show our respects but I just concentrate on the football side of it and try and be as prepared as we can."
The SPFL's statement, released earlier this week, said clubs "may wish" to hold a period of silence "and/or play the National Anthem" ahead of kick-off.
The statement read: "Following confirmation of the postponement of all fixtures in the professional game across Scotland last weekend as a mark of respect for the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we can confirm the intention for the professional game to resume as normal.
"Fixtures will go ahead, subject to Police Scotland resourcing, with the caveat that any fixtures under the professional banner be rescheduled if they fall on Monday September 19, the day of Her Majesty’s funeral.
"This week, as a mark of respect and in keeping with the period of National Mourning, home clubs may wish to hold a period of silence and/or play the National Anthem just ahead of kick-off, and players may wish to wear black armbands.
"We thank clubs and league organisations for the mark of respect shown at the weekend and for their efforts in resuming the professional game fixture schedule."
