Emergency plans to deal with a second wave of Covid-19 look set to fail.

Scottish football is facing up to the nightmare scenario of a coronavirus crisis re-run next season as clubs look set to vote down emergency plans to cope with a second wave of the pandemic.

SPFL chief Neil Doncaster has proposed changing the rule book to give the board special executive powers tin the event that another nationwide Covid-19 outbreak forces the game in this country back into lockdown.

If passed, the resolution would empower Doncaster and the rest of the board to decide if and when the new campaign would have to be brought to an end - and avoid the voting farce which triggered the ongoing civil war which has ripped through the game ever since the notorious Good Friday disagreement.

But Record Sport understands the numbers are stacking up against the proposal - with a number of top flight clubs already voicing strong opposition during a recent meeting of all 12 Premiership clubs.

The league’s top brass are desperate not to expose the entire game to another toxic row if disaster does strike and the virus surges out of control at some point during the season.

But with celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell set to replace Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson on Doncaster’s revamped board later this month - as his club attempts to secure a historic tenth successive league crown - there are obvious concerns over perception.

All of Scotland’s 42 senior clubs have been set a deadline of midnight on Monday July 20 to respond to the resolution with 75 per cent support required in all four leagues.

But one top flight chief executive told us: “It’s pretty clear from the discussions we’ve had between Premiership clubs that this plan is not going to have enough support to be passed.

“While no-one wants to go through all of this pain again - and clubs realise it would be easier to hand over the power to the board - it seems like the right idea but at entirely the wrong tine.

“In some quarters there’s an obvious distrust of the SPFL board because of everything that’s gone on over these last few months. While many clubs would rather not have to contemplate another vote to end the season, they are clearly struggling with the idea of empowering the SPFL board to take that decision for them.

“When you add into the mix the fact that celtic are going for 10 In A Row and Peter Lawwell will most probably be voted onto a new look SPFL board, the potential problems are obvious

“If we are forced by the pandemic back into another worst case scenario in the new campaign it could make last season’s crisis look like a walk in the park!”

But sources on Hampden’s sixth floor insisted last night that have not given up hope of getting the numbers required ahead of this month’s AGM.

One said: “We are aware that a number of clubs have voiced concerns and that’s probably understandable given the levels of tension over the last three months, But most clubs do seem to see the sense in taking action now to prevent it all playing out again the same way next season.

“It’s up to the clubs decide what they want and right now we still think it’ll be touch and go when it goes to the vote.”

This law will go straight in the garbage if Rangers are on top and they try to call the season.

Correction,,,,,,,,,they won't try to call the season should Rangers be on top.

If that vote was to the benefit of Rangers there would have been a different mantra issued.

So they ain't voting for this because it makes it too obvious that Lawwell runs Scottish Football?

So lawell was on it two year ago, then Robertson this year and that prick back on this year

You will likely see it all going back to the vote ,Members voted to end the season ,they could find that the vote to close the lower leagues is invalid ,And those leagues can’t be called ,But there has been no issue with the vote to close the premiership even though it was voted on a corrupted precedent,Scum tainted title gets more tainted by the minute

Beveren on the Belgian nonsense

"We found it very odd that the fixtures were already released while legal proceedings were still under way."

[DMax399 3,704]

It’s just reached a new low.

The 3 falsely promoted clubs want Premier clubs to donate £5k each to their legal costs.

All sense of shame and integrity has disappeared from this rancid country.

[KingKirk 25,647]

Limited number of fans back in stadiums shortly apparently.

Is their league boss called Nils van Doncasten by any chance?

All part of the bluster that the clubs have a say ,To many of the small clubs they feel dictated to by the larger clubs ,And completely controlled by the us and the filth ,

Novel idea only have us on every 2 years alternating with Lieswell ,Looks like it’s fair,But in actual fact we are only there every 2 years to keep an eye on things while that cunt has control all the time .

Remember Stewart Gilmours interview saying that Lieswell has too much control ,in years gone by having both clubs in all the time created a better balance ,but now that balance has gone

Test events at Murrayfield and the peado dome given the go ahead by the scottish government apparently, all falling into place for lawell and his cabal.

Where is the sporting integrity of allowing only 1 team to have any fans ,that’s also a few quid a Motherwell or a Hamilton would love to have 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

I am just flabbergasted by this

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53346709

Do they not understand the charges are against the SPFL ? No charges against them.

Hearts/Thistle have to show that under company law they were treated with prejudice and unfairly. This is hardly member clubs looking after each other. Just more ammo for the Hearts/Thistle QC.

Apart from the mafia who do they expect to donate money to a doomed cause ?

I sometimes think Lawwell has nippy in his back pocket as well.

I would go further than that. League 1 and League 2 teams could easily have their thousand or less fans observe social distancing. Supermarkets manage it after all.
