Speaking at the weekend, Doncaster had said: “It’s never done until it’s done.
“It’s been a difficult market, but I would say Scottish football is in a very good place.
“It’s a challenging sponsorship environment. Any of our 42 member clubs would tell you the same.
“Cinch are coming out of the contract this summer and I am optimistic that we will have a replacement sponsor for the start of the new season.
“I’m not going to tell you when. But I’m optimistic we will have a sponsor in place for next season.”
