Three member clubs (Clyde F.C., Hamilton Academical F.C. and Livingston F.C.) are proposing a restructuring system, which would see the current First Division teams "break away" to form a second tier to the Scottish Premier League (SPL). These plans are at a very early stage and are facing strong opposition from lower-league clubs and Scottish Football League bosses.
