TURRIFF, Buckie and Inverurie will be Forres Mechanics' first three opponents of the Highland League season for the first three weeks of the season - but games will only go ahead if crowds are allowed.

League fixtures for the first three weeks of action were released this weekend, and Mechanics start with a home clash against Turriff United.

An away trip to Buckie Thistle and a home clash with Inverurie Locos will conclude the month for the Cans, assuming play does get under way due to Covid-19.

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 coronavirus safety guidelines.
