He said: "We’ve had talks with a number of clubs over these 'cooperation partnerships'. 

"There have been talks with Rangers, but no proposal as yet. Also reassured no decision will be made anytime soon or without some sort of consultation, whoever we choose, if any."

The 'cooperation partnerships' would reportedly involve Premiership clubs sending multiple young players on loan to a lower league side [Record].  

Raith finished fifth in the second tier this season, narrowly missing out on the play-offs. They are managed by ex-Celtic midfielder Barry Robson. 

Elsewhere, the SFA Compliance Officer is set to review comments made by former defender John Brown on Rangers TV, querying the integrity of officials during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Hibernian. 

Broadcasters claimed that VAR saw "no conclusive evidence/angle to say the ball had fully crossed the line to award Rangers a second goal".

Brown disagreed, saying on air: "I would say it is corrupt.

Commentator Tom Miller cautioned: "Well, I'm not sure we can actually say that”, before Brown continued: "Well, I am saying it.”

Herald Sport reports that the SFA believe there are grounds for action under article 29.2 of the rules which reads: "A club or recognised football body which publishes, distributes, issues, sells or authorises a third party to publish, distribute, issue or sell a match programme or any other publication or audio/visual material of any description in any media now existing or hereinafter invented, including but not limited to the Internet, social networking or micro-blogging sites, shall ensure that any such publications or audio/visual material does not contain any criticism of any match official calculated to indicate bias or incompetence on the part of such match official or to impinge upon his character."
