Rangers EGM fails as clubs vote against SPFL investigation
Attempts to force an independent investigation into the Scottish Professional Football League have failed.
The resolution, which was initially proposed by Rangers, drew 13 of the 32 votes needed to pass. There were 27 votes against and two clubs abstained.
SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan said the game "cannot afford the distraction of further infighting or legal challenges".
Rangers had joined with Hearts and Stranraer to force a general meeting on the back of a controversial and drawn-out vote which ended the lower-league season last month and handed the SPFL board the power to do likewise for the Premiership.
The resolution got the support of four clubs in the Premiership and one from the Championship, plus eight in the two lower divisions.
Another two teams from the combined ranks of League One and League Two abstained.
MacLennan added: ""The overwhelming majority of clubs voted to oppose this resolution and it's now incumbent on all clubs to put their differences aside, otherwise we will all suffer together.
"I have taken careful note of the concerns expressed by the minority of clubs which voted in favour and when we are back to playing football in a safe environment, I will bring clubs together to discuss the lessons learned.
"In reality, we must do everything humanly possible to get games back up and running by the end of July. I'm sure we can all agree that the quicker we get back to playing football, the better."
