SPFL hit back at Rangers and other clubs over letter and ‘inaccuracies’
Responding to a letter written by Rangers and five other clubs to league executives, the SPFL has accused the clubs
of making “factual inaccuracies.”
concerns regarding the Independent Governance study and questioned why chairman Murdoch MacLennan had
made a positive remark on the report’s conclusions. They charged him with acting without member consent and
without informing member clubs beforehand.
They also claimed that his statement didn’t fully and accurately reflect the conclusions of the report. The clubs were
also concerned about the true independence of the report given the SPFL Executive allegedly made changes to the
first draft before it was sent to member clubs.
the SPFL has now retaliated. Numerous factual errors were in the letter,
which we have since corrected with those clubs.
“After the process is finished, we look forward to meeting with all Premiership Clubs and discussing the
recommendations of the independent governance review.”
“On behalf of SPFL Premiership clubs Aberdeen, Motherwell, Livingston, Rangers, St Johnstone, and St. Mirren, a
letter was issued today to the SPFL executive in response to the handling of the recent Independent Governance
report,” the six clubs released the following statement.
It is highly inappropriate for the SPFL Chairman to have made any public remarks before to the SPFL Board
meeting, which is scheduled to examine the contents of the draft report.
Since the SPFL Executive received the initial draft of the study and made revisions before giving it to SPFL Board
members, the clubs and others have serious concerns about the report’s independence.
Only one club out of the 42 had the chance to provide feedback on the report’s investigation, and that club wasn’t the
current or former SPFL Board members.
