League One and Two clubs set to vote on a resolution to conclude the 2021/22 season.
As reported by Lanarkshire Live last week , all twenty clubs have agreed to a 22-match season but the decision needs to be validated by a vote.
The resolution will require 75% approval from clubs, 8 in each division, who have been instructed to respond with their verdict as soon as possible.
If 75% approval isn't achieved then the SPFL is intend on delivering the 27-match programme previously agreed by clubs.
The SPFL advised clubs that an 18-game season would be the most viable option but it was the clubs' wish to pursue a split alternative.
All 18 league fixtures must be completed by Friday, 23rd April in order to facilitate the remaining four split fixtures. If one club fails to fulfil those 18 fixtures then the season would automatically be limited to 18 games.
If all 18 league games are played by the deadline then the remaining four post-split games must be completed by Thursday, March 6th.
The season will be decided on a points-per-game basis if all post-split fixtures aren't completed by that deadline.
The SPFL Board has agreed to delay the play-off competitions between the Championship, League 1 and League 2.
Instead of these competitions commencing on Wednesday 5 May, they will now commence on Saturday 8 May, thereby freeing up an additional mid-week fixture date.
League 1 and League 2 clubs have also agreed with the SPFL Board that the maximum ‘density’ of the fixture schedule, regardless of the number of outstanding fixtures a club might have, will be Saturday-Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday, i.e., not more than 4 League Matches in any 8 consecutive days.
SPFL Company Secretary Calum Beattie said: “Since the suspension of League 1 and 2 matches was lifted by the Scottish FA on 2 March, we have been in near-constant communication with the club representatives that make up the League 1 and 2 Steering Group.
"Those discussions have been very productive with everyone working extremely hard to develop a proposition that is agreeable to all parties.
“Although the recommendation from the SPFL Board was that an 18-match season was the most practicable option, we fully recognise and respect the desire from clubs in Leagues 1 and 2 to aim for 22 games.
“I am pleased we have now reached an agreement that I hope will be approved by the clubs in the coming days."
