"It will be the first time since league football began in Scotland in 1888 that the Ibrox club will be absent from the schedule.
Instead, the fixtures for the 11 other clubs will be announced, with some form of cipher used to signify Rangers who – if their application for acceptance as a newco is rejected – will be replaced by Dundee, runners-up in the Scottish Football League last season.
Rangers cannot be incorporated into the fixture list because the Ibrox administrators still hold the club’s share in the SPL but have no players and no stadium.
Rangers Football Club, the newco owned by the consortium fronted by Charles Green – who assumed control on Thursday – have a stadium and perhaps also a playing squad (although that issue has yet to be resolved) but no share in the SPL so, as matters stand, they cannot play in the league.
The SPL board meets on Monday and will be presented with a letter of application from Green’s newco. Recently adopted changes in SPL rules mean that the board must refer the matter to the member clubs. "
Rangers seem to be in a hole and digging faster with each passing day. Playing in the league next year is not assured and many of the other teams just want to hear a "sorry, we fecked up" which rangers with their "we are the people" approach to life just cannot give.
Looks like enough clubs are going to vote to kick out rangers. Quite why the fans are right up for this is beyond me when they still insist that they did nothing wrong.
Take you signing policy and you songs back down to division 3...
OldCo should be stripped of titles and trophys won during the EBT years where they fielded inelligible players. Results reversed to 3-0 wins for the opposition.
By my reckoning that's at least six titles gone. They can't punish the NewCo with sanctions as the history and debt dies with the OldCo but anything less than starting in Division 3 would mean the end of any sporting integrity in Scottish football.
