Former Accra Hearts of Oak defender Dan Quaye has blamed Kumasi Asante Kotoko's exit from the CAF Confederations Cup to the lack of activity in the Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors were eliminated at the preliminary stage of the competition by Congolese side Club Athletique Renaissance De Aiglon.
CARA Brazzaville beat Kotoko 6-7 on penalties, after drawing 1-1 in a two legged affair.
Dan Quaye who was criticized for claiming Kotoko will be eliminated after the first leg feels vindicated, but added the club's exit in down to lack of premier league activity.
"I have been vindicated, I said that Kotoko should forget about the Confederations Cup after they squandered 3 penalties and scored just one," he told Aseda FM.
"The delay of the Ghana league or lack of league matches is the reason why KOTOKO could not advance to the next stage of the competition but with ADUANA Stars because most of the players have played together for about 4 to 5 years that is why they were able to go through," he added.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko have not progress beyond the second stage in their last five attempts.
The Ghana Premier League is set to start on March 2nd and 3rd after an Ordinary Congress was held to confirm the date.
