On 13 March 2020 all SPFL leagues were indefinitely suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] This led to league games being postponed until at least 30 April, and later the season being ended early, resulting in 12th placed Hearts being relegated to Scottish Championship.[7] Both Semi-finals of the Scottish Cup were postponed until later in the year – Hearts finished as runners up, losing to Celtic in the Final.[8]
