It comes after Celtic’s request for Sunday’s match with Motherwell to serve as a test event was refused.

The government rejected the proposal, while allowing Friday’s rugby match between Edinburgh and Glasgow at Murrayfield to be attended by 700 fans.

That will be the first sports event in Scotland since lockdown to have spectators.

The Premiership test events are expected to have crowds in the low hundreds, with the Joint Response Group saying “incrementally increased numbers” will follow if pilots are successful.

All 12 sides will play at 15:00 BST on Saturday, 12 September, with no games being moved for television.

Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor confirmed the club have submitted plans for their home match with Celtic to be a test match, with only some season ticket holders allowed to attend.

“Numbers will be down to the government, that won’t be our decision,” he told BBC Scotland’s Sportsound programme.

“We’ve done ground plans for social distancing and everything else, but we realise we have to go with the government and carry out everything to the letter of the law on the day.

“We’re well prepared for it and know exactly what we’re going to do. I don’t see any major difficulties in a test at all.”

‘Small crowd created an atmosphere’ – analysis

I was at the first game in the UK when supporters were allowed back, the Irish cup final on 31 July.

Even with 250 fans of each side, there was noise and an atmosphere, the singing was reverberating around the stadium.

When both teams scored they ran to their supporters. There was 500 people in an 18,000-capacity stadium, but it was better than what we’re getting at the moment.
