Motherwell have mounted a challenge to the Scottish Premier League's post-split fixtures, frustrated at their league schedule.

Chairman John Boyle has promised to pursue "all avenues of protest" against the fixtures, with Well' facing a third match away to Celtic, leading Boyle to call an emergency club board meeting.

Motherwell, who are also unhappy that their two remaining home matches will not be played on Saturdays, have issued a statement on the issue.

The club said: "The board at Motherwell FC are deeply concerned about the outcome of the post-split fixtures and its implications for the sporting and financial position of the club.

"We are seeking an immediate discussion with the SPL on what has happened and why and have a duty of care to our fans, shareholders and employees to ensure that the apparent inequity we have been asked to suffer is remedied."

St Mirren are also said to be unhappy with the situation but will take no action despite being frustrated at being handed a third game away to relegation rivals Falkirk.
