Hearts have threatened to take legal action over their "unjust" relegation from the Scottish Premiership.
The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) announced on Monday the 2019-20 season could not be completed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Celtic were crowned champions for a record-equalling ninth time in a row and Hearts were consigned to the Championship after the final standings were calculated on a points-per-game basis. Hearts were four points adrift of second-bottom Hamilton Academical with eight games to play when the season was suspended in March amid the Covid-19 crisis.
