26 jul 2017 ano - SPFL claims it cannot impose fresh sanctions on Rangers over the club's use of a disguised remuneration scheme. But its Board calls for an independent review "into Scottish football's actions and processes" by the SFA

Descrição:

"The SPFL has no power in law to re-open these issues and the commission has no power in law, assuming it wished to do so, to modify or supplement the sanction previously imposed," it stated.

SPFL chairman Ralph Topping recognised the clamour for further action.

"The board of the SPFL has noted the calls that have been made for an independent review and report concerning the way in which Scottish football's authorities have dealt with non-payment of tax by clubs, application of their rules and regulations and the sufficiency of changes made to their rules and regulations in this area over the last few years," he said.

"The board of the SPFL supports those calls for such an independent review and will seek to facilitate such review and the publication of its report with and to the Scottish FA.

"The SPFL will seek to agree terms of reference with the Scottish FA and the identification of appropriate independent reviewers."
