HIGHLAND League fixtures have been released for the first three weeks of the season - but games will only go ahead if crowds are allowed.

Buckie Thistle will meet Clach on October 17 if the Highland League gets under way.

Buckie Thistle are scheduled to host Clach on Saturday October 17 while Forres Mechanics are also on home soil as they welcome Turriff United to Mosset Park.

Rothes start at Deveronvale and last season's bottom two clubs Fort William and Lossiemouth meet at Claggan Park.

Keith visit Nairn County while Huntly are at Formartine, and Inverurie Locos have drawn the short straw by becoming the first side to visit reigning champions Brora Rangers.

The Highland League have stressed that the games will only go ahead in October if Government advice allows them to proceed with spectators in attendance.

League chiefs added that all home clubs must have received SHFL approval for their grounds meeting protocol set within the Covid-19 safety guidelines.
