The Daily Record reports that a debate on the Premiership season scheduled to take place today has been pushed back until Friday as Rangers prepare to release evidence against the SPFL.
The Scottish Championship, League One and League Two seasons have already been brought to a close amid the global health crisis, with clubs voting to pass an SPFL resolution in late April.
A decision has not yet been made on the top-flight, but a Joint Response Group Update on Tuesday made it clear that the return of football still ‘looks to be some while away’ [spfl.co.uk] and clubs were due to hold a debate on the issue today.
It’s suggested that those discussions have been postponed by 24 hours so that clubs have a chance to look at evidence of alleged wrongdoing collected by the Gers against the league association.
The dossier was set to be distributed to clubs this morning ahead of an EGM on 12 May.
Verdict
There has been plenty of drama surrounding Rangers’ feud with the SPFL and it seems it’s now firmly centre-stage.
The league association’s chief executive, Neil Doncaster, insists he has ‘no idea’ what proof of wrongdoing the Gers could have found [BBC Scotland], as big players from both sides put their reputation on the line.
It makes sense that discussions on the fate of the Premiership season have been pushed back amid the big reveal, though.
If Rangers do turn out to have damning evidence, it may have a real impact on the attitude of other clubs towards the governing body’s handling of the global health crisis.
It’s possible that news will come out across the day providing more clarity on the specifics behind the Gers’ claims.
