The SPFL has revealed there is “no reasonable prospect of achieving consensus” around plans to restructure the Scottish Premiership.

It follows a meeting of the Competitions Working Group (CWG) on Tuesday, where league reconstruction was discussed.

Sky Sports News revealed earlier this month that proposals over a 10-team top flight were unlikely to receive sufficient backing – but retaining the current 12-club Premiership format, plus larger 14 or 16-team models would be discussed.

While no changes to the Premiership are set to go ahead, Sky Sports News understands there was broad agreement over increasing the size of the Scottish Championship, League One and League Two.

Currently, all three divisions below the top flight have 10 teams but that could grow, with further talks to take place.

A statement from the SPFL said: “The SPFL’s Competitions Working Group met on 29 April to discuss the possibility of league restructuring.

“It was agreed that there was no reasonable prospect of achieving consensus around a new format for the William Hill Premiership.

“There was, however, broad agreement around potential changes to the William Hill Championship, League One and League Two.

“These will be worked up with a view to conducting a consultation with clubs and other stakeholders.”
