Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and St Johnstone chairman Steve Brown have been inducted on to the SPFL board for 2020-21.

The duo join Hamilton Academical's Les Gray as Scottish Premiership voices, replacing Rangers' Stewart Robertson and Alan Burrows of Motherwell.

Ross McArthur (Dunfermline Athletic) and Ewen Cameron (Alloa Athletic) now represent the Championship.

Brechin City's Ken Ferguson remains for Leagues One and Two.

But he will also be joined by Gordon Thomson of Clyde as an alternate director for the bottom two divisions.

The board will be completed by SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster, chairman Murdoch MacLennan, and non-executive director Karyn McCluskey.

"Our game is facing a series of challenges unlike anything it has ever experienced, and everyone involved in Scottish football is working tirelessly to restart matches soon," said SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan.

"The SPFL directors have a key role to play in navigating those challenges and I'm pleased to welcome them on board for what promises to be a unique season ahead."

In May, the board took the decision to curtail the Scottish Premiership, declare Celtic champions, and relegate Hearts after a controversial vote of all 42 clubs granted them the authority to do so.
