In the last few years Scottish football fans have watched on as their game has been drawn into disrepute through the handling of a number of issues by the SFA and SPFL.

Agreements whose details are secret.

Duplicity in enforcing the laws of the game.

Members who are the subject of court cases.

Officials whose backgrounds should warrant exclusion from dealing with serious issues remaining in a position where they can influence the outcome.

Clear flouting of the rules protecting our clubs from being run by undesirable characters.

Officials taking actions that breach UEFA laws.

These and other issues have, in my opinion, led to the loss of faith in the integrity of a sport supported by so many in this country. In my view the only path of action now is to demand that administrators resign their posts en masse and that a working group be put in place to define the way forward for the sport. All discussions of the group should be conducted in open session and any resulting reports be openly published.

The aim should be to save our game from the destruction that it now faces and to work towards a sport where all member clubs have equal stature and influence on the game and the competitions in which they compete.

I ask anyone who shares my disgust in the state of football to sign this petition and help return it to being a sport that we ALL can support with pride.
