Under the plan, which has found increasing favour among Scottish Premier League and SFL clubs, the two top divisions of 12 would split into three mini-leagues of eight after 22 games. The top eight would then play for the title and European places, the middle eight would play to decide whether they started the next season among the leading 12 clubs, and the bottom eight would play to avoid relegation to the following season's third tier of 18.
