SPFL adjusts loan rules

At its meeting yesterday (Monday 13 January), the SPFL Board agreed that the SPFL’s Temporary Transfer Regulations should be adjusted

At its meeting yesterday (Monday 13 January), the SPFL Board agreed that the SPFL’s Temporary Transfer Regulations should be adjusted.

It will now be permitted for an SPFL club to lend a maximum of two players to another SPFL club, so long as the receiving club plays in a different division (higher or lower division).

Loans between SPFL clubs in the same division continue to be restricted to one player from any one club.

The overall quotas in respect of how many players any club can receive on loan remain unaltered.

SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said: "It is very pleasing to be able to announce this adjustment to the SPFL’s loan rules today.

“Member clubs had asked us to look at this rule which we acted on immediately and I’m very grateful to the SPFL Board for responding so quickly and effectively.

“By making this rule adjustment while the transfer window is open it allows our clubs to consider all options open to them and plan accordingly.”
