Shooting Stars Sports Club’s hope of escaping relegation in the just concluded Nigeria Professional Football League received a boost on Monday as the League Management Company rescinded their earlier decision on the team’s relegation.
LMC announced 3SC as one of the four teams relegated to the Nigeria National League following their 2-0 away defeat to Niger Tornadoes in Lokoja on the final day of the season.
3SC’s relegation was confirmed after it was reported that another team fighting relegation Wikki Tourists defeated Gombe United 1-0 in Gombe but reports later emanated that the game between Gombe and Wikki was abandoned due to crowd trouble.
LMC stated on their verified Twitter handle that until the match report of the game between Gombe United and Wikki Tourists is available, the fourth team that will join Remo, ABS and Gombe in the lower division is yet to be decided.
