Reports this morning have suggested that artificial pitches in the Scottish Premiership could be banned if a resolution is passed by nine of the 12 top-flight clubs.

The surfaces in Scotland's top division have been a controversial topic in recent seasons, with fans, managers and players all debating whether they should be allowed in the game.

Kilmarnock recently revealed they plan to bring back a grass surface at Rugby Park before the 2025/26 season and that decision has highlighted a potential to ban all astroturf pitches from the Premiership.

The Daily Mail report today that the SPFL's Working Group will make a recommendation to ban the pitches to the league board and they also say that a resolution proposing the removal will be issued before the end of the season.

It is understood the vote would only involve Premiership clubs and suggestions that a 9-3 majority would be enough to spark an astroturf ban.

Kilmarnock last played their home matches on grass in 2014 before implementing an artificial surface. The pitch was updated to a higher spec of astroturf in 2019.

Livingston also have an astroturf surface but the West Lothian side have made no suggestion of moving to grass in the near future.
