SPFL vote rests on one Championship vote

The Scottish Professional Football League's contentious resolution is resting on just one Scottish Championship club that has yet to vote.

The SPFL board met on Friday evening to consider the responses to the proposals put forward on Wednesday.

That resolution would see the immediate curtailment of the Championship, League One and League Two seasons, as well as the right for the SPFL board to decide the Premiership on a point per game basis if the coronavirus prevents its resumption.

The body received 39 responses as of 5pm on Friday, with 85 per cent in favour of the resolution - but three clubs have yet to make their stance known.

The SPFL said 10 of the top-flight clubs voted in favour, with just one against. Nine supporting votes are needed in that division.

Eight are needed in the Championship and the current figure is one shy of that figure, with seven for and two against.

For the SPFL motion to be passed, it needs nine Premiership clubs, eight in the Championship, and 15 in Leagues One and Two combined to vote in favour.

"It is very important that clubs consider carefully the resolution and we are grateful to those clubs who have voted already," said an SPFL spokesperson.

"With the Ladbrokes Premiership and Ladbrokes Leagues 1 & 2 divisions each having approved the resolution, we await the voting slip from the one Ladbrokes Championship club that has yet to vote. We will provide an update as soon as we are in a position to do so."
