Football fans across Scotland are eagerly awaiting the release of the 2024 Fair Game Index, which promises to reveal how SPFL teams measure up against the best-run football clubs in the United Kingdom for the first time.
Set to be released at midnight on Thursday, August 22, this year's index marks a significant expansion, now including 206 clubs - up from 92 last year.
For the first time, the analysis will encompass the top four divisions in Scotland, alongside the English Premier League and Football League, as well as the top three non-league divisions in England.
This comprehensive evaluation is based on 226 distinct touchpoints, providing a robust framework for assessing club management and operations.
