SPFL: Falkirk chairman criticises vote 'shambles'

Falkirk believe the vote to end the lower league season was made too quickly

The SPFL's voting process has proved a "shambles", according to Falkirk chairman Gary Deans.

Controversy has surrounded the vote - backed by 81% of Scotland's 42 clubs - to end the lower league season early.

"[Having] 48 hours to address such a complex group of subjects is just wrong," he told BBC Sportsound.

Deans said he would be "absolutely livid" in the event of games being played behind closed doors - after he was told it would not happen.

No decision has yet been made on the Premiership, ahead of a Uefa meeting next week to provide clarity on top-flight leagues across Europe.

The Premiership could be decided on the same points per game basis, if the SPFL board "determines the games cannot be played".

"It [the vote to end the lower league season] was poorly constructed and ill-thought out," Deans said.

"You address them [the issues] one at a time. The votes have been cast. We are where we are."

Deans believes the SPFL board and clubs have been too rash in pushing forward when, in his view, there was an opportunity to wait.
