Speculation about a leading Scottish club going into administration has resurfaced again tonight.

On Friday Chris McLaughlin mentioned the prospect during a BBC podcast, tonight the far more reliable and independent Celtic Underground/Celtic Rumours Twitter account has shared news of a leaked email causing some distress.

Despite the events of 2012 there is no meaningful Financial Fair Play regulations in Scottish football, a warning system comes into play if a club fails to pay wages on time.

With the majority of Scottish players now on Furlough and other clubs deferring or cutting wages the limited FFP scheme has been put on hold.

The last full round of SPFL matches were played on March 7 with clubs now approaching two months without a home match. While season ticket holders are in the majority hospitality brings in worthwhile sums match by match with clubs benefitting from their own shops and other associated revenue streams.

Next week SPFL clubs are due to vote on whether to stage an independent investigation into the process involved in the vote to end the season based on average points per game.

So far no evidence has been forwarded to the clubs ahead of the vote.
