Is the Scottish Premier cheating with favouritism?

Partick Thistle Claim Compo From SPFL

A statement from Partick on the club's website said:

"In previous seasons where both Rangers and Celtic were in the Premiership, pre-split fixtures have been organised to ensure that every club plays three home games against the Old Firm.

Without any notification from the SPFL to the contrary, we had expected that this practice would continue this season and that is the basis on which we and other clubs have budgeted.

However, this season we, Motherwell and Hamilton have been handed only two Old Firm games at home whilst Dundee, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Hearts have four home games.

It is also worth noting that, for the second time in three seasons, SPFL fixturing means that we will have no competitive match on the second weekend of the campaign.

Having had no communication from the SPFL explaining these changes prior to this morning's announcement, Partick Thistle intends to seek compensation from the SPFL for all clubs concerned or that they reconsider the fixture list to ensure a level playing field for all."



So Partick and the other two clubs will play Rangers and Celtic away on four occasions while the other teams only play them away twice. Don't know who came up with this but I think they had too many drams. Sounds a bit suspicious to me? What do you guys think?!

It's interesting that this has happened. Although, I suspect the clubs that only have two home fixtures against the Old Firm, will have four next season to balance it out - while the clubs with four this season will have two next season.
