The club are investigating coins being thrown onto the pitch at this weekends games, officials have yet to say if they were missiles or it was a formal take over bid.

The Lithuanian State Circus ? I think you'll find the 'Well are well ahead of that shower of pikeys.

Whatever happened to the Atlantic League idea? Sounded a good 'un to me.

It would be more competitive for Celtic (and Rangers when they return) and, dare I say it, more attractive for sponsors.

And more competitive for the teams left in the Scottish league.

Good point. And if Rangers are forced into liquidation then that will be a couple more games that your manager won't have you throwing away to help the Govan knuckledraggers too.

You might just be able to hold onto third. But do Motherwell have enough cash salted away to afford passports for the squad if you DO get into Europe?

As long as we can get a cheap hotel deal on lastminute.com

All that, and without them, Motherwell would win the SPL this season

Rumour going round that Rangers will be pulling out of the league and signing up for the Conference.

Without the old firm rivalry, what is left of the league? Where are the big games of the future going to be? How is the SPL going to attract top players? Who is going to pour money into the game from a sponsorship perspective? Don't Celtic fans need Rangers around. As a real outside observer, seems like a pyrrhic victory of sorts.

Even as it stands the SPL does not attract really top players, and there is relatively little sponsorship money from TV companies.
My best guess is that some phoenix version of Rangers will emerge from the wreckage of all this and rise back to the top of the game in as little as a few years.
But for now I am simply going to celebrate. Not our fault they overspent money that was not theirs, and they fully deserve whatever is coming to them.
My team has lost a number of closely run league titles due to the fact that Rangers have been fielding expensive players that they have bought immorally with our taxes. Serves them right, and the same goes for any other teams that operate this way.

As a non Old Firm Scottish football fan, i'd like to see the back of both of them. Sure, the Sky TV money, such as it is would be reduced and clubs would have to live on gate money and although the standard may drop in the short term, there would at least be competition. F**k both of them. Two cheeks of the same arse in my opinion

Why's that? Would it turn you on? It would, wouldn't it you disgusting little boy!

You'd like it if it did.

[TestMangler]

FTFY

So, if you took the Sky money out of English football, what do you think the standard would be like ?

[Churchill]

They should also be forced to play in pink leotards with a print of King Billy being rogered by Graham Norton.
