According to Sportsound, revelation of planned announcement at 9pm on Sportsound.

Apparently the review by Deloitte & Touche into SFL viability is due next week, but 16 SFL clubs are meeting tommorrow to break away and form as SPL2. All 10 First Division, plus 6 lower leagues. I would personally suggest:

Airdrie United, Clyde, Dundee, Gretna, Hamilton Academical, Livingston, Partick Thistle, Queen of the South, Ross County, St Johnstone

and my guess would then be these 4 full-time teams:

Ayr United, Greenock Morton, Raith Rovers, Stranraer

plus:

Peterhead, Stirling Albion

because I can't see anyone else being big enough in terms of stadiums and supporters.

What is more noticeable is that 16 teams splitting away = 30 games a season which doesn't work financially.

However, if we had two SPL divisions of 14? = 39 games a season, 1 more than currently (though means playing all opponents thrice).

Could be disastrous for 14 remaining SFL sides if they get 'locked out' because of demands on stadium, reserve sides, undersoil heating.

I personally would like to see:

SPL1 12 clubs
SPL2 12 clubs
SFL National 18 clubs
