That’s good news. I’m sure it was reported only 1 club had put this in place (Dundee maybe?). Glad we had the foresight.Quote:

Also confirmed that we'd taken the scottish government's loan option of £1.8m. Repayments over 20 years with 0% interest. First repayment due September 2022.
Ron loving it.Quote:
