Play or Share the Scottish Challenge Cup Final of 2020

I hope the Scottish Football authorities agree to play the 2020 Scottish Challenge Cup Final between Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers, or agree to share it.
I hope they do not null and void the trophy of this year.
It has been an interesting season with great performances by Inverness CT, Raith Rovers, Glasgow Rangers, and Partick Thistle.
It would seem a waste to play tonnes of games,. then not to award the trophy, when it is just one game to complete the trophy.
It is just one final between Raith Rovers, and Inverness.
If they do not play the trophy final then it should be officially shared by the two teams.
The first Scottish Football League Championship was shared between Glasgow Rangers and Dumbarton FC. So there is precedent for sharing trophies in Scotland.
If the final is played then I would prefer the final to be played behind closed doors at a major teams training ground to a TV audience.
It would be difficult for teams to travel, but a one off journey to entertain TV audiences with a football game could be OK, as long as health standards are OK.
I would not want anyone's health to be put at risk,. so health precautions need to be taken.
