Dundee United have stressed their opposition to any proposal to invite the new Rangers into the top flight or to create an SPL2 to accommodate them.
The Tannadice club are desperate to move on following the chaos that has blighted Scottish football over recent weeks and months.
There has been speculation that despite Friday’s overwhelming vote by the Scottish Football League clubs to accept the newco in Division Three, there could be a further twist in the saga that would involve the setting up of a second flight of the SPL.
There has even been talk of a dramatic parachute jump back into the SPL despite the division’s chairmen having already said no to that.
United are clear that any such moves would not have their support.
In a statement they declared: ”Following (Friday’s) democratic vote by the SFL clubs in favour of admitting The Rangers Football Club as an associate member of the SFL, but with the Third Division being the only acceptable position, Dundee United will now focus on our upcoming campaign while working together with the other SPL clubs to ensure the stability of the SPL and Scottish football in what will be an uncertain and extremely challenging financial environment.
”For the avoidance of doubt, following (Friday’s) vote, the club would not support any counter proposals for the formation of SPL 2 or regarding any other route for The Rangers Football Club to join the SPL.
”Now is the time for everyone to be united as one and we ask our upporters to stand alongside us as we face the challenges ahead.”
