Cove handed season-long registration embargo

Scottish League 1 side Cove Rangers face a strict recruitment ban lasting through May 2027 after officials penalized the team for missing a historical financial obligation to a competitor. League administrators revealed that the club acknowledged omitting a past wage requirement and subsequently neglecting to report the infraction to authorities.

Additionally, leadership submitted inaccurate declarations regarding past-due compensation status to league officials earlier this year.

Alongside the recruitment freeze, authorities issued a financial penalty totaling five thousand pounds, with two thousand pounds conditionally deferred. The organization confirmed that the monetary debt to the affected individual has since been completely settled.

Under manager Paul Hartley, the squad currently occupies the second-to-last spot in the division standings following a modest start to the campaign.
