Welcome to part two of award-winning sportswriter Stephen McGowan’s investigation series into league reconstruction.

Yesterday, Stephen spoke exclusively to SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster.

In part two today, he speaks to a player, a manager, a chairman and a fan. How does the debate around reconstruction shift between these different stakeholders and what are the most important issues for each of them?

Tomorrow will feature Stephen’s analysis of today’s report by the Competitions Working Group.

Parts two and three are for paid subscribers.
