The SPFL have joined UEFA and a host of other footballing authorities by criticising plans for a new European Super League (ESL).
It was announced last night that 12 of Europe's most prestigious clubs are planning to breakaway and form their own midweek league.
The plans have led to an unprecedented backlash from high-profile former professionals and supporters in Scotland.
SPFL chief Neil Doncaster has slammed the plans believing it would cause enormous damage to the fabrics of football.
Doncaster condemned the greed of a small number of clubs and reiterated the SPFL's opposition of the plans in tandem with UEFA and other major leagues.
Doncaster said: “The SPFL stands alongside UEFA, the European Leagues, the English Premier League and the overwhelming majority of the game’s stakeholders in vehemently opposing the proposed European Super League.
“These proposals, or any like them, would have an enormously damaging impact on the very fabric of our sport at all levels. It is no surprise they have been so swiftly and overwhelmingly condemned by fans the world over.
“We believe that any such ‘competition’ would dramatically undermine the global appeal of football and would be financially catastrophic for all but a very tiny minority.
“The proposals we have seen, assembled by a small, self-selected group of very wealthy clubs, appear to be a cynical and very worrying attempt to thwart the core principle of sporting merit which rightly underpins European football.
"They represent a clear and present danger to the sport we all love.
“Now, more than ever, given what we have all been through over the past year, governments, together with the game’s governing bodies and leagues, need to work together to do what is right and protect the very essence of the game.
“The SPFL stands ready to support all efforts to fight for the principles of solidarity, sporting competition and fairness which lie at the very heart of the game.”
