Dundee Utd, Raith & Cove Rangers will 'robustly defend' right to promotion


Raith Rovers were a point ahead of Falkirk in League One with eight games to play when the season was haltedDundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers say they will "robustly defend" themselves after a petition was lodged that could lead to a "ruinous" reversal of their promotions. Hearts and Partick Thistle went to the Court of Session to challenge their relegations - and that of Stranraer - after the SPFL ended the season early. Their petition asked for a judge to scrap promotions and relegations for last season - meaning United, Raith and Cove would stay down despite being crowned champions of their divisions. "Our status as champions is not being contested, and nor should the promotion which has always, and should always, come with it. That followed a vote in April to curtail the campaign, with Hearts bottom of the Premiership and Thistle last in the Championship.
