Teams to allocate squad numbers to players - Instructed by SPFL


Recommended Posts

Morton appear to have changed their mind and are now going with squad numbers. No mention of whether we'll have names on the shirts also, but big Cham has gone for squad number 48 for some apparent reason.

Does that mean that Queen of the South are the only side with no squad numbers for the coming season?

They're also the only club whose team coach is horse drawn. Progress comes slowly to Dumfries.

Bump. Just out of curiosity, how is this working for next season? Same as last or are names and numbers going to be obligatory?

All clubs in the championship have to have names and numbers on their shirts this season.

You got a source for this?

Yes the SPFL rules as follows

Player Identification

G22 The Players' shirts must be clearly numbered on the back and the players' shorts must be numbered clearly on the left hand side at the front and in accordance with the list handed to the Referee before any League Match or Play-Off Match. Any such numbers and letters must be in compliance with the style and conditions approved by the Board and the Scottish FA.

G23 Subject to Rule G26A, prior to the start of the Season each Club entitled to participate in Divisions One and Two must notify the Secretary of the shirt numbers allocated to each Player in their First Team Squad. Each Player must be allocated a different shirt number. The requirements of this Rule G23 and Rules G24 to G26 (inclusive) shall not apply to Clubs which are not Division Two Clubs participating in the Division Two/Division Three Play-Off Competition.

G24 Subject to Rule G26A, if any Player is added to a Club’s First Team Squad in Division One or Two during the Season additional numbers may be allocated as new Players join the relevant First Team Squad.

G25 Subject to Rule G26A, a Player's shirt number with any Club in Division One or Two must remain with him for the duration of the Season unless either:

G25.1 he ceases to play for a Club in which case his shirt number will become available for allocation to new members of the First Team Squad; or

53

G25.2 for other reasons satisfactory to the Board in its absolute discretion.

G26 Subject to Rule G26A, a Player's name must appear on the back of his shirt above the shirt number where the Player is Playing in a League Match or in a Play-Off Match for a Club in Division One or Two.

G26A The Board may in respect of Season 2013/2014 waive the requirements of Rules G23, G24, G25 & G26 from applying to all Clubs entitled to participate in Division Two in that Season and in the Division Two/Division Three Play-Off Competition immediately after the end of Season 2013/2014

Thanks I had thought the names on the shirts were still optional in the championship
