Ross County respond to SPFL vote with call for unity

Rangers have failed in their bid to force an independent investigation into the SPFL.

The Ibrox club joined with Hearts and Stranraer in calling for a general meeting after the lower league season was controversially ended last month.

Only 13 of the 42 clubs voted to pass the resolution.

Ross County Chairman Roy MacGregor has responded with the following statement.

“Following today’s SPFL vote, we hope this will now allow all of the clubs and authorities to move forward together to find the best solutions for securing the safety of our game here in Scotland.

"The current pandemic is the biggest threat that has ever faced Scottish Football and we need to all come together to ensure we come out of this at the other end, protect as many jobs as possible and ensure that our game can prosper when we get back to action.

"Failing to address the key vulnerabilities for clubs and leagues at this time, and how we plan for the future, could have a detrimental effect on how we come out of this and that should be of central importance right now.

"Today a decision has been reached in regard to the Independent enquiry and in the interests of democracy we hope this decision is accepted by all and that we can move on from this and come together to secure the future of Scottish Football"
