End to TV row in sight, says Rangers chairman

RANGERS and rivals Celtic are close to resolving their dispute with the 10 other clubs in the Scottish premier league (SPL), according to Rangers chairman John McLelland.

Ten of Scotland's top flight clubs resigned from the 12-team division last month after voting structures meant Celtic and Rangers were able to block the launch of a proposed SPL television channel.

Under current rules an 11-1 majority is needed for decisions over major issues in the division. The 10 clubs want the voting structure changed to 8-4 but the two dominant Glasgow clubs have rejected this.
