Falkirk, Raith Rovers, Hamilton Accies and Queen of the South have issued a joint statement
Four clubs have united in response to a proposal to ban artificial surfaces in the Scottish Premiership , saying it’s “fundamentally flawed” and could cause long-term damage.
It appears likely that Premiership clubs will vote against the pitches being used from season 2026-27. The four clubs have expressed disappointment that their points won’t be taken on board, having “sought constructive dialogue with both the SPFL Competitions Working Group and directly with Scottish Premiership clubs”.
“We believe that all clubs with the ability and ambition to reach the Premiership should be encouraged to do so, without having unnecessary barriers being created to demotivate and disincentivise them.” “The goal posts are now being moved, with no consideration given to the consequences of such a decision on many clubs who will not get a vote on the matter.
