The President of the Ghana League Clubs Association, Kudjoe Fianoo, has accused Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko of diminishing the luster of the Ghana Premier League.

The football administrator claimed that the poor performances of the two most successful clubs in Ghana detracted significantly from the league.

Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko have had mediocre seasons, with the former only surviving relegation on the final day of the season.

Speaking to Kumasi-based Akoma FM, Kudjoe Fianoo placed the blame for the league's poor public image at the doorstep of the two clubs.

"The abysmal performances of Hearts and Kotoko have taken a lot of the shine out of our league," he said.

Asante Kotoko finished the season sixth on the Ghana Premier League table with 49 points, 12 points away from champions FC Samartex.

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak needed a dramatic 3-2 comeback win on the final day to avoid relegation.
