Partick Thistle have confirmed they will not receive compensation from the SPFL over their fixture list row and say a "breakdown in communication" caused mistakes on both sides.

The Premiership club were angered when the new season fixtures were released and Thistle, along with Motherwell and Hamilton, were handed only one home game against Rangers and Celtic, while others enjoyed the financial benefit of two games against each.

Thistle demanded compensation, or a new set of fixtures, but have now conceded they were wrong to budget based on what they expected fixtures to be, while saying the SPFL had erred in not informing clubs first.

In a statement on the club website, a spokesman said: "Following a meeting today, the SPFL has confirmed to us that there is to be no compensation paid to clubs disadvantaged by the fixture list 2016/17.

"While clearly disappointed at this outcome, in a wide ranging discussion, it became apparent to us that the current situation had arisen from a breakdown in communications leading to unintended consequences for us and two other clubs.

"There was agreement that while we, as a club, had not anticipated changes to the fixturing process when compared with historical practice, the SPFL had not considered the impact of making these changes without first informing the clubs affected.

"We still intend to meet with other Premiership clubs to discuss the best way to ensure fairness for all clubs, thus avoiding any financial or sporting disadvantage happening in future seasons. The SPFL has agreed to consider any proposals that we come forward with as a group."

As STV revealed last week, the league were unwilling to change the fixtures as it would disrupt the two-year cycle that would correct the imbalance next season. Should Thistle remain in the Premiership for 2017/18 they would enjoy the financial benefits of extra games against Celtic and Rangers, meaning compensation was unacceptable to the SPFL.

Thistle confirmed that, despite failing to win a payment, the club would not reduce their playing budget for the coming season, though cuts may have to be made elsewhere.
