Rutherglen Glencairn have blasted controversial plans to create a Conference League for ‘B’ teams as “hugely insulting”, saying it would effectively relegate almost every team below the SPFL.
Though the West of Scotland League First Division club don’t have a vote, they say they would have rejected the plans, and “strongly urge all teams who do have a vote to consider the effect that a positive vote for this proposal would have on the 200-plus teams that it would negatively impact”.
Current proposals are for the Conference League to be placed below League Two, which would be made up of four ‘B’ teams and three from each of the Lowland and Highland Leagues, and is set to be brought in for the start of the 2024/25 season.
