Rangers Liquidated

[Cliphead]

As a Hibs fan I am absolutely delighted to see the demise of Rangers and the breakup of a duopoly that has ruined Scottish Football.
The SPL has for too long been treated a a by-product of the Glasgow Championship which has driven thousands of fans away from non-old firm clubs.
Since 1985 (Souness revolution), The old firm have spent over £340m on foreign transfer fees, thats not even counting the wages.
This money used to be the financial bloodline of Scottish football till the duopoly turned a tourniqet on the Scottish league, bleeding our national game dry and killing off grass roots football in this country.
With Rangers gone there will be increased competition for 2nd place, this will drive fans back to the games, more fans attract advertisers and more advertisers attract television companies.
That is the business model for Scottish football.
The current set up has proven to be a failure.

European football next season mate go chase it

I think the sky money in the prem and the loss of the three foreign players rule has done it's part to lower the standard of Scottish footballers as it has in England. Home countries players only used to count as half, so a couple of decent Scots, Welsh or Irish men were worth a Brazilian and that used to provide a ready market for talent from all over the UK. I'm not sure this new fangled labour mobility has worked out for the best TBH.

Its what most Rangers fans wanted, I am not fussed, we will be back in the SPL soon enough, I however doubt it will still be in the same shape it is when Rangers left.

You will probably get liquidated again before you get out.
