The SFA are set to investigate claims the SPFL breached policy during their feud with Rangers over the cinch sponsorship deal.
Car dealer cinch penned a record deal to become the SPFL 's name sponsor in the summer but champions Rangers resisted pressure to advertise the brand at Ibrox.
Ibrox chairman Douglas Park runs Park's of Hamilton, a rival company, and Rangers argued the cinch deal would breach their pre-existing agreement with them.
The row has been rumbling in the background since it raged earlier in the season and now, as reported by The Herald, Park's have taken the matter to the SFA.
Compliance officer Andrew Phillips will investigate claims the SPFL attempted to block their participation in arbitration proceedings involving Rangers, the SPFL and cinch in the Court of Session.
A statement from Park's of Hamilton reads: “We can confirm discussions between the legal representatives of Park’s of Hamilton and the SFA have been referred to the Compliance Officer, in line with Article 94, by the SFA's legal advisers.
“We continue to believe that the SPFL's recent attempts in the Court of Session to block our participation in the ongoing arbitration proceedings breach the Scottish FA's Article 99.12.
“In addition to this, we believe that the SPFL have failed to behave with the utmost good faith in this matter and did not take every possible step to resolve the dispute prior to referring the matter to arbitration - as they are required to do in terms of article 99.14.
“Whilst we are not members of the SPFL or the SFA, we were forced to commence court proceedings to protect our commercial position due to the conduct of the SPFL.
“It is imperative that the SFA, as the governing body, applies all Articles to members in order to protect the integrity of its disciplinary processes.
“The SPFL continue to engage in behaviour which we believe seeks to induce a breach of a contract to which we are a party. We are prepared to pursue a claim against the SPFL regarding this ongoing conduct.”
