Scottish Premier League football clubs have been given the green light to have safe-standing areas within their stadiums.
The SPL announced a relaxation of its rules on standing following a general meeting of all 12 clubs.
Approval will be required from local council safety committees and the police.
Terraces were banned following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and the issue of allowing some standing areas has been revisited since all-seater stadiums became compulsory in England in 1994.
Scotland is not bound by the law which banned standing areas in top-flight football in England, which came into force after the Taylor Report into the Hillsborough disaster.
SPL rules currently state that clubs must only use seated areas with a minimum of 6,000 seats per stadium.
