Uva said: “It’s not a matter for us, it will be up to each league to decide.

“The only issue concerns those players who have contracts or loans expiring on June 30 but that isn’t a matter for UEFA.

“We will only ask for the list of teams that will participat­e in the next European competitio­ns by a certain date.”

Uva’s bombshell comes just 24 hours after UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin admitted the current campaign “will probably be lost” if the coronaviru­s outbreak prevents football from resuming by the end of UEFA’s June 30 deadline.

It’s understood voiding the season, as has happened with the English non-leagues, isn’t a realistic option and leaves only two outcomes of either calling the season now or finishing the campaign at a later date and pushing back the start of next season.

That would likely mean condensing the 2020-21 campaign with the European Championsh­ip, of which Glasgow is one of 13 host cities, due to kick off on June 11.

Uva also reflected on the decision to postpone Euro 2020 by a year.

He said: “UEFA gave a sign of unity and solidarity and gave priority to the health of everyone and the sustainabi­lity of the system.

“It certainly wasn’t the sad spectacle we’re seeing from the European Union.

“Now we’re the guide and a point of co-ordination for federation­s, clubs and leagues that are living through completely different situations given the different levels of contagion of the coronaviru­s now.”
