SCOTTISH football chiefs have been accused of "relegating 200 clubs in one go" with their plans to create a new Conference division at tier five.
Mick Kennedy, manager of Scottish Cup shock troops Darvel, insists the only reason the proposal is being driven forward is the power of Celtic and Rangers.
The blueprint would see a 10-team league made up of four Premiership B sides and six clubs from the Highland and Lowland Leagues and is being earmarked for 2024-25.
But it has been slammed by Kennedy whose ambitious West of Scotland Premier League side stunned the game by knocking Aberdeen out of the Scottish Cup this year.
And he has urged Lowland and Highland clubs to block the proposal by refusing to take part. The Pyramid Working Group, that includes SFA chief Ian Maxwell, met on Tuesday and discussed the Conference idea.
