SPFL challenge Rangers to produce evidence of vote wrongdoing

The chairman of the SPFL, Murdoch MacLennan, has called on Rangers chairman Douglas Park to produce evidence of claims made against them - or withdraw the allegations.

The Premiership club released a statement earlier this afternoon suggesting they had "serious concerns" about how a vote on ending the season early had been conducted.

“It is extremely concerning that Rangers have chosen to make a number of very serious allegations against the SPFL, its corporate governance, its culture, its office-bearers and its business operations," Murdoch said in response to Rangers' claims.

“In the often-heated atmosphere of Scottish football, rumour and misinformation can very quickly reach fever-point.

"However, allegations of a lack of even-handedness and fair play go to the very integrity of the league and I would expect Rangers Interim Chairman Douglas Park to present compelling evidence to back up his claims, or to withdraw them.

“I anticipate that the SPFL Board will convene early next week to discuss a wide variety of issues and I will be writing to Mr Park asking him to urgently communicate any and all information he possesses in order that the board can take whatever steps are necessary.”

It's yet to be decided if the Championship, League One and Two campaigns should stop immediately due to coronavirus.
