Clyde claim SFL vote is mission impossible

CLYDE last night insisted their task of being asked to vote on whether to admit Rangers newco into the Scottish Football League is both "impossible" and would be "irresponsible" based on the information available.

Representatives from 28 SFL clubs – both Dundee and Airdrie United have been excluded from the vote due to potential conflicts of interest – will decide today whether to allow Sevco Scotland Ltd into the league and at what level. A majority of clubs are believed to favour placing Rangers into the Irn-Bru Third Division against the wishes of Stewart Regan, the Scottish Football Association chief executive, who previously warned that Scottish football would "wither on the vine" if the newco was not allowed to start life in the first division.
