Police could open an investigation into the handling of last Friday's mysterious ballot over voiding the season north of the border.

It was declared incomplete after Dundee failed to register their vote. Rangers have demanded the suspension of Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Neil Doncaster and an independent inquiry into the matter.

Sportsmail has learnt that a number of clubs also have concerns, which they are prepared to take to the police if necessary.

Last Friday's vote was declared incomplete after Dundee failed to register their vote

Rangers have called for SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster to be suspended from his job

It emerged at the weekend that Dundee's vote into whether to scrap the season was not cast by Friday's 5pm deadline.

The Championship club had the decisive vote, with the other second tier clubs voting 7-2 in favour of the SPFL's proposal to end the lower-league season early and 10 of the 12 clubs in the Scottish Premier League backing a dual resolution which also gives the SPFL board the power to curtail the top-flight campaign later.

The SPFL needed eight Championship votes for the motion to pass, having received support from 75 per cent of clubs in the Premiership and Leagues One and Two.

Rangers are adamant the season should be continued for the competition's integrity

The SPFL claimed on Friday that Dundee's voting slip never arrived, a position they then altered by claiming that they were also sent a note from the club which came before the voting slip, stating that any vote they received should not be considered cast.

Dundee had been thought to be siding with Rangers and Hearts, the only SPL clubs to oppose the motion, with their apparent abstention leading to speculation that they had been pressured by others.

Rangers are adamant that the season should be completed to protect the competition's integrity, and have not given up hope of catching Celtic at the top of the table.
