Partick Thistle are the latest club to issue a statement on where Rangers Newco should be playing next season.

Thistle join Dunfermline, Falkirk, Morton and Raith Rovers in making public comment, and say they will consider all options before deciding how to vote.

The directors have said that they will fully weigh-up their options before deciding on what course of action would be in the best interests of the club.

A statement on the club website states: "As you will no doubt have seen from the media coverage, the Scottish Football League have sent a briefing document to its member clubs – this consultation document describes various scenarios and implications of accepting Newco Rangers into the Scottish Football League either in SFL 3 or SFL 1.

"Clearly, this is a complex issue which will affect both Partick Thistle FC, our supporters and Scottish Football in general, for years to come.

"The club directors would be doing both current and future generations of fans a disservice if it did not take enough time to discuss the document and its long term implications, in detail.

"There is a meeting of the Scottish Football League on the 3rd July where member Clubs will take part in the discussions surrounding the proposals.

"Currently, Partick Thistle do not have a complete view of or on the proposals, and consequently, we will believe it entirely sensible to wait until we have full details available, before forming any opinion."
