As Glasgow Rangers and the rest of Scottish football found out on Monday, the proposed reconstruction of the country’s leading divisions will not proceed.
Hearts owner Ann Budge had been pushing for a change to the structure of the league system in Scotland and a 14-10-10-10 system had been proposed that would have seen two clubs join League Two. However, ultimately only 16 clubs felt that a change was in the game’s best interests.

As such, the Jam Tarts will be relegated to the Championship and, on Sunday, it was revealed that the clubs already in that division have decided to play only 27 games next season rather than the usual 36 – the league is set to recommence in October.

This has attracted the attention of plenty of ‘Gers supporters and they do not seem to agree that this is the best course of action for the second tier. They have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.

. Or was there a rousing speech followed by lucrative friendlies to cover the 9 missed games. Well that’s how it works is it not . And think clubs very happy that John Nelms now knows how to send an email properly. #Spfl is Corrupt#

Must’ve been some threats dished out for them to agree to that 😂

Pretty sure they all happily agreed to play less games, meaning bringing in less money, from less home games
Wonder what bully tactics were used in this vote 🤔
