ROSS COUNTY chairman Roy MacGregor is set to vote against any temporary league reconstruction proposal.

McGregor insists he is open minded about the prospect of a league overhaul.

But he concedes the possibility of three teams being relegated at the end of next term as part of a one-season shake-up would not appeal to him.

Hearts owner Ann Budge, whose own team are facing demotion from the Premiership if the campaign cannot be finished, and Hamilton vice-chair Les Gray are jointly-chairing a task force looking into changing the current set-up.

In a bid to prevent teams being relegated as a result of the health crisis, a 14-10-10-10 solution has been mooted, as has three leagues of 14.

McGregor has his own thoughts on what has been discussed but insists he will also take guidance from his fellow board members at Victoria Park.

He said: “I need to take it to my board and I’ll listen to the arguments as always.

“I don’t want to put the club into any position - it would worry me if it’s a temporary thing and three clubs had to be demoted next year. 

“That would worry me because as a community club we’re probably one of the six or seven that are always going to be in that situation. 

“The odds of one out of 12 instead of three out of 14 are not good. 

“The last time 14 clubs in the top flight was mooted I voted on behalf of the club against it."

But, in an interview on County’s YouTube channel, he added: “I would like to keep an open mind and hear what the arguments are and take it back to the board.”
