The SPFL has announced changes to its board for the upcoming season, with Celtic CEO Peter Lawwell replacing Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson.

Lawwell held a similar position on the board previously before being replaced by Robertson last year.

He will be joined by St Johnstone's Steve Brown in being inducted onto the board to represent the Premiership alongside Hamilton's Les Gray, with Motherwell's Alan Burrows also stepping down.

It's vital that we maintain that vigilance and discipline as we move towards a greater semblance of normality for our teams and for the supporters up and down the country who form the backbone of our sport."
