Rutherglen Glencairn secretary Peter Ferguson admits floodlight costs at the Hamish B Allan Stadium are soaring but says plans for clubs to save money on energy bills by moving kick-off times won’t affect his club.
The SFA have given permission for Scottish Cup kick-off times to be moved from 3pm in a bid to help clubs save on electricity and heating bills this winter amid the cost of living crisis, while the SPFL has signaled that it could come into play for league matches, too.
While the West of Scotland League where Glens play haven’t yet made comment on the initiative, Ferguson says it is unlikely they will see any reduction in bills with games already due to be brought forward by 30 minutes in November, as in recent years.
