Gretna facing fight for survival
Gretna face the threat of closure if they do not find the necessary funds to fulfil their remaining SPL fixtures.
The ailing club are now in the hands of an administrator and need £30,000 for Saturday's visit to Aberdeen.
"We need emergency funding for wages, an overnight stay and transport," said administrator David Elliot. "At the moment I don't have it."
The SPL is unwilling to release a cash advance unless Gretna can prove themselves a viable proposition.
