Premiership plastic pitch ban back ON as clubs set for fresh vote with two compromises

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Premiership clubs are set for a fresh vote on banning plastic pitches - which could see them removed from the top flight altogether by 2026.

An initial vote was tabled for April on removing synthetic turfs but it was called off amid concerns from lower league clubs who rely on them.

In last season's top flight, Kilmarnock and Livingston had astroturf pitches which had been widely criticised - but the standard of Dundee's infamous grass pitch offers the counterpoint.It was reported then that clubs planned to find a compromise and it seems that has now been reached.

A statement from the SPFL reveals plans for a new resolution which clubs will vote on and, if passed, Premiership clubs will require grass pitches from 2026/27.
