SONS TO HOST SPFL U-20 & DEVELOPMENT MATCHES

Wednesday 7^th August 2013

SPFL under-20 league and European Development football comes to the Bet Butler Stadium with Sons hosting matches to be played by both Rangers and Celtic in the season ahead.

Admission to the SPFL games will be free and DFC Chief Executive Gilbert Lawrie explains how things will pan out.

He said : “We have agreed with Rangers to play SPFL under-20 league matches at our stadium and we have a deal in place with Celtic who will play fewer games here and as they are waiting until they know how they will progress in the Champions League, if so they will play their European Development squad games here following a UEFA visit which deemed the stadium suitable.”
