Scottish Professional Football League board members pleaded on Tuesday for an end to "recrimination and division" after Rangers sparked a general meeting to propose an independent investigation into a vote on how to end the season.

Rangers want SPFL chief banned over controversial vote [ARTICLE ...

The 42 clubs will cast ballots on May 12 on whether to instigate an external review of the circumstances surrounding a controversial vote to end the seasons in the lower three divisions.
The same resolution also gives the SPFL board the power to end the Premiership campaign if it deems that the matches cannot be played.
That would see Celtic crowned champions for a record-equalling ninth season in a row on points-per-game as they led Rangers by 13 points when the season was stopped due to the coronavirus crisis.
The resolution to end the Championship, League One and League Two seasons was only passed when Dundee voted in favour, five days after clubs had been asked to cast their ballot.
The Championship side originally planned to reject the resolution, but their emailed vote on April 10 was not received by the SPFL.
An investigation by auditors Deloitte revealed "no evidence of improper behaviour".

Rangers want an independent investigation into a SPFL vote to end the league seasons in Scotland
Rangers have called for the suspension of SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster over the process and say they have evidence from a whistleblower that raises serious questions over the SPFL's handling of the affair.
A group of SPFL board members said in an open letter to clubs that it was dealing with a "fast-moving set of circumstances".
"It's an unenviable job, and we are sure the many fair-minded people in Scottish football fully understand this," it said.
"All of the executive team retain our full support and admiration. Further recrimination and division will only decrease our chances of playing football matches in Scotland any time soon. The players, fans and officials deserve our best collective efforts."
Rangers will need the backing of 32 of the 42 member clubs for an independent investigation.
Football in Scotland has been suspended until at least June 10 but there are hopes the Premiership season could still restart behind closed doors if given government approval.

British presenter, Ant McPartlin's £31million divorce from his estranged wife Lisa Armstrong, has reportedly been finalised, meaning he is now free to propose to girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett.

The former couple split in January 2018 before their   union legally came to an end during a 30-second hearing in October 2018. During the hearing, Ant had to technically admit adultery with his former PA and girlfriend, Anne-Marie as their romance began while he and Lisa were still married. A source told The Sun: 'It's been an extremely difficult road with a lot of heartache and unpleasantness, but it's finally done. It's over.

The Bundesliga could return by "the middle or end of May", Germany's sports ministers have said, as the league awaits the go-ahead from Angela Merkel's government to resume the season.

The ministers of sports in Germany's 16 states met Monday and announced in a statement that it is "justifiable" for the league to resume "in empty stadiums" from "the middle or end of May". "The German Football League must create and enforce the strictest hygienic and medical conditions, and monitor them with appropriate measures," added the statement. German Chancellor Merkel will meet state leaders in Berlin on Thursday, when it is hoped the Bundesliga will get the green light to resume. All football in Germany ground to a halt in mid March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A return in May would make the Bundesliga the first top league in Europe to resume as Germany cautiously eases lockdown measures. Key politicians, including health minister Jens Spahn, ha...
