The SPFL board have a duty to follow their rulebook. Not a fake news dossier.
This rule is interesting. Can you think of any club that has breached it repeatedly? Who might have called for heads to roll?
B2 No Member , either by itself or its Officials, shall by any means whatsoever disparage, belittle, discredit or unfairly criticise any other Member or its Club, the Company, the League, the Directors, Alternate Director and the directors of any other Member and the Company's and other Members’ officers, employees, Officials and agents (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the other Member and its Club, exclude it and its Club’s supporters).

The Premiership C14 The Clubs for the time being entitled in terms of these Rules to participate in the Premiership shall, disregarding any abandoned or postponed matches, play in 38 League Matches in any one Season.

Severability A3 Each Rule shall be construed separately and, if any Rule or provision in these Rules may prove to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining Rules which shall continue in full force and effect.
