Malky Mackay has called for a clear-the-air Scottish football summit for top flight managers, league officials and referee chiefs to voice their grievances.

The Ross County boss like the rest of his 11 fellow Premiership managers has been left by a number of refereeing and VAR calls.

He was speaking after County’s Viaplay Cup midweek exit to Aberdeen, where Josh Sims was taken to hospital with a nasty gash - even though no action was taken by referee John Beaton.

Mackay believes the Scottish game would improve if all sides were given the chance to put their grievances forward and then everybody could get together on a plan to improve the general standard of Scottish football.
