The Scottish Professional Football League has responded to concerns raised by six top-flight clubs regarding its recent governance review. Following a three-month investigation by financial accountants Henderson Loggie, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Livingston, St Johnstone, and St Mirren, alongside Rangers, expressed significant reservations in an open letter to the SPFL regarding the handling of the report.
A spokesperson for the SPFL confirmed the receipt of the letter on behalf of the six Premiership clubs, noting that it contained several factual inaccuracies. The SPFL has since addressed these inaccuracies with the concerned clubs. The spokesperson also stated that discussions regarding the recommendations of the independent governance review will take place with all Premiership clubs in the near future, once the necessary process has been completed.
The investigation in question was initiated last summer after the league issued an apology to Rangers following a protracted dispute concerning its primary sponsorship deal.
