Plans to restructure the SPFL have been met with fresh opposition with League Two clubs reportedly set to snub SFA plans.
The governing body previously promised to lead a review of the pyramid as part of the deal that allowed three Premiership B teams to enter the Lowland League for a second season. The second string sides of Celtic, Hearts and Rangers will all take part in the fifth tier next season.
However, the Scottish Sun claim 10 teams in League Two have made it abundantly clear that they will not take part in any talks of reconstruction ahead of the new season. One of the ideas would have seen a a fifth SPFL tier introduced to include the B teams of some of Scotland's top sides but clubs in the bottom division are believed to be unanimously against it.
Any form of reconstruction requires the go ahead from 75 per cent of both League One and League Two clubs combined. But with the bottom clubs against it, the potential plans look doomed.
League Two clubs have been completely against the three B sides taking part in the Lowland League. However, clubs in the Lowland League itself voted to allow to Colt teams into the league ahead of the 2022/23 campaign. The decision was not the result of a landslide vote, though, with the league chairman having to split the vote.
Part of the agreement detailed a proposal for the introduction of a fifth team made up of B team sides, clubs promoted from the Highland and Lowland league as well as sides who have finished bottom of League Two. But as it stands, the proposals face backlash with plans unlikely to go through unless a huge change in heart in the lower SPFL leagues occurs.
