schema:articleBody	Scottish Professional Football League clubs are to discuss on Monday reconstruction proposals put forward by Hearts owner Ann Budge, a league spokesman has announced. Budge has suggested changing the top of Scottish football's structure from four to three divisions, each with 14 clubs, for two seasons -- a move that would spare Hearts, who finished bottom of the curtailed Scottish Premiership this term, from relegation. Following an SPFL board meeting on Wednesday, a league spokesman said: "The board has now received Ann Budge's paper to clubs on the topic of league reconstruction. "As these matters are ultimately decided by clubs via a democratic process, we will now facilitate a series of divisional meetings, starting with the Premiership on Monday, at which all 42 clubs will have the chance to discuss the proposals in detail." After the Scottish campaign at all levels below the Premiership was cancelled because of the coronavirus -- the top-flight eventually followed suit -- a task force was established to look at creating a new three-division system with Budge as one of its co-chairs. But their plan failed to attract sufficient support at a meeting of Premiership clubs earlier this month. Afterwards, Budge issued a statement accusing Premiership clubs who voted against expansion before reading a paper on the topic she had prepared for them of being "appallingly disrespectful to everyone on the task force". Meanwhile she insisted the plan was not simply a response to Edinburgh club Hearts' plight, with Budge saying no side should be "unfairly penalised by exceptional decisions" taken in response to COVID-19. The eventual decision to declare the Scottish Premiership over saw Celtic crowned champions for a record-equalling ninth successive season even though they had not kicked a ball since March because of the pandemic. But there was a bitter row over how to finish the campaign. Second-placed Rangers, 13 points adrift of arch Glasgow rivals Celtic, failed to gain sufficient support among the other 41 league clubs for an independent inquiry into the controversial vote that allowed the season to be called on a points-per-game basis. jdg/dj
