The Scottish Premiership could be changed to a 10, 14 or 16-team division in an attempt to help reduce fixture congestion.
Talks have taken place at senior levels about altering the structure of the top flight, in which 12 clubs split into a top and bottom six after 33 rounds of matches.
Thirty-eight rounds of games are played altogether and the format has been in place since season 2000-01. Retaining that model is also an option.
One of the major issues with any reconstruction would be how the financial distribution model would work.
Last year the SPFL announced record turnover of £44m with more than £33m being awarded to the clubs.
Top-flight clubs were given more than £27.5m of that total with the rest being split between the Championship and Leagues 1 and 2.
In addition to this income, Premiership clubs who do not feature in the group or league stages of European football currently share ‘solidarity payments’ from Uefa, which are distributed by the Scottish FA.
Last season these payments were in excess of £600,000 with this current season’s total expected to be around the £900,000.
