The Board of the Scottish Lowland Football League can today confirm that Bonnyrigg Rose have been granted membership to the Scottish FA and as a result of this they will be promoted to the Lowland League for season 2019/20.

As a result of Berwick Rangers’ relegation from the SPFL and Bonnyrigg Rose’s promotion, this means that Whitehill Welfare will be relegated to the East of Scotland Football League for next season.

Chairman of the Lowland League George Fraser said: “I would like to thank Whitehill Welfare for their professionalism throughout this difficult process. It’s never easy when we lose a team from the league, let alone one of our founder clubs and I would like to wish Welfare every success in their EoSFL campaign next season.”
