JAKARTA - The fate of the continuation of the Scottish League was finally decided by a vote. The result? The football competition in neighboring England produced a recommendation to stop the 2019/20 season. Things that annoy Glasgow Rangers manager Steven Gerrard.
The 42 Scottish professional clubs that are part of the Scottish Professional League (SPFL) are holding a digital vote on the immediate termination of the three lower divisions and taking similar decisions in the top caste when it becomes clear that competition cannot continue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The majority of these votes means Dundee United will win the Championship Division, Raith Rovers in League One and Cove Rangers in League Two.
Meanwhile, the Scottish Premier League which is currently led by Celtic with a 13-point advantage over Rangers will only be decided to quit on April 23 according to UEFA's policy to accept the decision to stop the competition in order to avoid being banned from appearing in European competitions.
Dundee did not vote but supported the SPFL's recommendations. While Rangers did not support him, neither did Hearts, who currently occupy the position of caretaker of the standings and will be relegated if the recommendation is a goal.
Upon this result, the Liverpool legend called for a thorough investigation into the vote.
"If you look at the SPFL, it looks chaotic. Some former players, pandits and the media have criticized the way they have handled this situation," Gerrard told Sky Sports, as quoted by Soccerway, Friday, April 17.

"There are a lot of suspicions, doubts and questions about this institution and there should be an independent investigation ... to prove nothing is wrong and ensure fairness and transparency," said Stevie G.
