Scottish Premier League chief executive Neil Doncaster insists he would be open to changes to the league structure following criticism of the controversial split.
Rangers and Motherwell are among those who have expressed unhappiness with the final five fixtures of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League campaign. Doncaster, himself, admits he thought the idea of a league split was "odd" before taking up his post with the organisation.
And he says he is willing to canvass clubs in a bid to find ways to improve upon the current system. He said: "Certainly, when you are looking from the south up here to what it looks like, you raise an eyebrow and it does look a bit odd."
He added: "But when you come up here, it makes more sense.
"You've got 12 teams in the league and the only way that you can have the right number of games for those 12 teams is to have the split in the way that we have it.
"No one is pretending it's perfect.
"I'm certainly one of those that would very much like to look at the whole league structure, to look at better ways of doing things and to look again at whether we've actually got the optimum structure for football in Scotland.
"My view is that possibly we haven't. So I welcome the thoughts about looking at the league and looking at how we improve the situation going forward.
"If there are any ways, as part of those improvements, that we can do away with some of the imbalances the split creates, I would absolutely welcome that.
"I'm with those who question the way the split operates at the moment. Ultimately, once we've done the consultation and gone round and talked to the clubs about what they would like to do, we would all like to see change, it's for the clubs to decide whether they want that change or not."
