Last updated on .From the section ScottishThe SPFL could expand to 48 teams by 2024All 42 SPFL clubs are being asked to consider a proposal that would lead to an increase in the number of teams within the leagues to 48 over the next three seasons. The additional teams would come from B teams from Rangers and Celtic with two teams from each of Highland and Lowland leagues taking the number up to 48. Meanwhile, clubs in the SPFL have been informed they no longer have to supply negative Covid-19 PCR tests for players and staff ahead of matches. The clubs now are required only to submit lateral flow tests for players and staff involved on match days. Over the past year clubs have had to pay out up to £4,000 per week for PCR tests, with the results submitted to the SPFL.
