Former St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour has launched an outspoken attack on Neil Doncaster.
The current chief executive of the SPFL was appointed onto the Board of the SFA this week which seems polarised between the old school of Rod Petrie and Alan McRae and a faction keen to reform and bring transparency to.
Stewart Regan and Ian Maxwell have recently stepped down from the Board of the SFA with Maxwell strongly tipped to replace Regan as the new chief executive.
Speaking last night to Radio Scotland about Doncaster’s new role Gilmour said: “I think it is a shocking appointment.
“I think it shows a real lack of leadership in this day and age when we are supposed to be having new visions and new ways forward.
“Neil’s integrity with supporters is so low, it is unbelievable. I just can’t believe the SFA board members would appoint Neil to come onto their board. I take it he has been co-opted on at this time of year, as no-one else has voted for this.
“I think it is a dreadful appointment. I don’t think it shows any way forward for Scottish football, any new broom. We keep getting told things are going to change. I really do think it is a poor appointment.”
While he was chairman of St Mirren Gilmour never called a motion of no confidence in Doncaster who predicted Armageddon as Rangers went into liquidation in 2012.
As well as being an architect of the infamous Five Way Agreement of 2012 Doncaster has gone on record, again to the BBC, to claim that the current club playing out of Ibrox is the same as the one that went into liquidation in 2012 and never again appeared in the SPFL.
