Scottish Professional Football League created
The merger between the SFL and the SPL to form the new Scottish Professional Football League was completed at around midnight on Thursday after a marathon day of talks at Hampden.
A new board was appointed and the following club representatives were elected: Duncan Fraser (Aberdeen), Eric Riley (Celtic), Stephen Thompson (Dundee United), Les Gray (Hamilton Accies), Mike Mulraney (Alloa) and Bill Darroch (Stenhousemuir).
Our first match in the SPFL is against Montrose at Links Park on Saturday August 10.
