SPL makes offer on kick-offs

THE Scottish Football League have written to their 30 member clubs advising them that they can move the kick-off for the fixtures on Saturday, 14 November to avoid a clash with the international in Wales.

Scotland are now playing a friendly international in Cardiff that afternoon with a 3pm kick-off with the game being shown live on Sky Sports. David Thomson, operations director at Hampden, said: "When the fixtures were arranged this Saturday was due to be a play-off match for Scotland's World Cup campaign and we would certainly have worked around that. The Wales match was only arranged at the beginning of October and when we became aware of the live TV showing of the game we wrote to our clubs accordingly. It will take the agreement of both clubs to move the kick off, but we have no issues with it."

Livingston have already agreed to move the kick-off to their Third Division match with Albion Rovers to 12:30pm.
