Premiership clubs have outmanoeuvred their colleagues at Ibrox by delaying a conference call until Friday.
Last Friday all 12 clubs met for a video conference call with the expectation that Stewart Robertson would produce details of the dossier calling for the suspension of Neil Doncaster and Rod McKenzie.
The Ibrox MD, and board member of the SPFL, decided to delay sharing the document with another conference call arranged for today.
On Sunday The Sun announced that the dossier would be released on Tuesday but predictably that was then put back 24-48 hours.
The dossier has now been downgraded to containing allegations of wrong-doing but Premiership clubs won’t get together again until the documents is produced.
The Record reports:
Premiership clubs have pushed back a potentially historic summit to discuss ending the season until Friday.
Record Sport revealed on Tuesday morning the crunch meeting had been postponed to allow crisis talks between the SFA, SPFL and Scottish government to go ahead.
It had been anticipated Holyrood might take the decision out of football’s hands – but it is now back to the clubs to decide.
We understand as many as nine are resigned to asking the SPFL to end the campaign, unlock around £7.5m of prize money and award Celtic the title.
It had been hoped talks would be reconvened by today at the latest.
But with Rangers poised this morning to go public with what they claim to be a dossier of evidence against league chief Neil Doncaster and Hampden lawyer Rod McKenzie, the top flight has bought itself a further 24 hours.
One club told us last night: “Perhaps one or two clubs will be waiting to see what evidence Rangers provide. But the two issues should not be conflated.”
Despite the blanket support of the main media outlets there has been no overnight leaks of the dossier contents.
