Neil Doncaster’s no-show

|

Neil Doncaster snubbed Celtic’s flag day celebration.

The SPFL chief executive has been at the flag day ceremony in each of the last five seasons but was noticeable by his absence today.

Scott Brown had the honour of unfurling the flag watched by Celtic chairman Ian Bankier and a representative of SPFL sponsors Ladbrokes.

The hoops began their defence of the title with an emphatic 4-1 win over Hearts.

Doncaster has recently become more of a target of fan criticism following the SPFL’s decision not to punish Rangers (IL) for a decade of fielding ineligible players.

After discussions with one QC the new look SPFL board have decided not to take action despite Dundee United, Dunfermline and Livingston having points deducted for lesser offences.

Doncaster likes to be seen in as many photo opportunities as possible and is in his ninth season leading the SPL and SPFL.

As well as Ladbrokes the SPFL is backed by Betfair, Irn Bru and Mitre.
