The SPFL has announced record financial results for season 2021/22 as Calum Beattie is promoted to chief operating officer.
A highest-ever turnover of £39.5m (up 7 per cent from £36.7m in 2020/21) has been recorded while accounts also reveal that club fees for season 2021/22 were £29.7m (up 5 per cent from £28.3m in season 2020/21).

Beattie, the SPFL’s company secretary for the past two years, has been promoted to his new role and will report to chief executive Neil Doncaster, who said: “These record results are extremely encouraging for our game and reflect the positive impact of the cinch title sponsorship, the largest single sponsorship deal in the history of the league, and the ongoing support that we continue to enjoy from Sky Sports and our other broadcast partners.
