Motherwell general manager: 'Scottish playoffs must change'

Motherwell general manager Alan Burrows says that a one-off playoff final at a neutral venue should replace the current playoff system.

Motherwell general manager Alan Burrows has said that the Scottish playoff system should be changed to a one-off playoff final at a neutral venue.

The Fir Park club secured their Scottish Premiership safety with a 6-1 aggregate win over Rangers, but Burrows believes that a one-off game would be fairer.

"You take playoffs as an idea. Who does playoffs better than anyone else in the world - probably England," he told BBC Sport. "The model they have is you play one team, double header, the winner then goes through and plays the other team at a neutral venue and that seems to work.

"I heard [Rangers manager] Stuart McCall saying that maybe the two games were two too many, they'd played six games I think in the space of 12 days.

"I would be much more in favour of that particular model where you have less games involved then the final is at a neutral venue."

Motherwell's 3-0 second-leg win confirmed their victory over the Gers, after beating them 3-1 in the first leg.
