Celtic, Rangers and Hearts B teams admitted into Lowland League again
B teams will compete in the fifth tier of Scottish football again next season
Lowland League clubs have voted in favour of admitting Premiership B teams into their division again next season.
Celtic and Rangers have had Colt sides competing in the fifth tier of Scottish football for two years with Hearts joining them last campaign.
A statement read: "We can confirm that members have voted in favour of including B teams for season 2023/24.
"This vote comes following the Pyramid Review undertaken by the Scottish FA this season."
It comes after reports the SPFL were exploring creating a new fifth tier called the Conference League which would be a 10 or 12 team division involving B teams as well as Lowland and Highland Leagues teams.
East Stirling publicly came out against the idea of admitting B teams back into the division.
In a Twitter post on Monday night they said: "East Stirlingshire have have tonight, alongside other SLFL clubs, been asked to vote for the inclusion of B teams for season 2023/24.
"Together as a club we will be voting NO. As we look to build a new era for East Stirlingshire we want the foundation to be built on integrity, support and to lead the way on sustainability.
"We as a club believe the proposed inclusion of B teams and the subsequent birth of a conference league, which we feel is being forced upon us, is not in the best interest of Scottish football and only highlights and benefits the might of the big clubs at the expense of the smaller club.
"From small acorns grow great oak trees with which lower league football plays a huge part and should be given the opportunity of building a foundation to stand on their own merit for the future of Scottish football.
"What Scottish football requires is a properly constructed and ventilated pyramid structure that allows all clubs to find their competitive level.
"Talk's cheap, action wins the day."
