Rangers are Liquidated.

[Andy!]

Celtic are too bothered about making the money in the CL group stages.

[LTLF Sponsors]

[Raymondo Ponte']

It's all very sad for the supporters and I hope they know who to blame, because it's all down to the greed of agents and players wages with the added incompetency of gross mis-management of ill educated chairmen and boards.

An absolute shambles that should never ever be forgotten and will not be.

Shame on all of the bastards.

[Brolin]

Would Rangers keep their fans and players?

3 years to get back to the SPL - which players are going to throw their careers away for that?

They'd lose all their playing staff, in all honesty.

But they're a big enough club to attract players far better than the division they will find themselves in on the revenue they will take from the gates. If they do start in Division 3 expect consecutive promotions.

For what it's worth I think no football club should be too big to fail. I really don't like Rangers or a lot of the element around them, but I feel quite sorry for football fans who turn up to support their team every week.

Looks like an exodus of playing staff has started - Steven Naismith has announced he's going to walk away from the "newco" club, although Rangers new owners have threatened to sue any player who tears up their existing contract.

[Ravi]

So you can pull a fast one by liquidating a company and set up a brand new one the following day... yet when employees insist their should-be-void contracts are no longer valid they can be sued?! What a joke.

[Kireek]

Hibernian have also said they are voting against Rangers, thats 3 known clubs voting against so far.

Get's rid of the competition for 2nd spot.

[EmJay]

Apparently St Johnstone and Aberdeen are widely thought to be voting "no" (although neither have confirmed) which means Rangers are out

RIP SPL.

It's good for Celtic - guaranteed Champions League every year!

Yeah, this article says Aberdeen, Dundee Utd and Hearts were already planning to vote against it- so with the addition of Hibernian that puts them at 4. Though Aberdeen are missing from todays article on the bbc so Aberdeen must still be deciding

If Aberdeen do vote against, and St Johnsotne do as well- then as you say Rangers are out

Ultimately boring when you think about it. They'll just keep winning everything. It'd be like if Real Madrid got kicked out of their league.

It's no different from some of the other weaker leagues across Europe, Norway for example used to be won by Rosenborg every season. Perhaps it will encourage some of the other teams to develop their players with a view to challenging Celtic?

Maybe boring but in the times we are in if I was Celtic I would vote no and keep pocketing the cash.
You never know when that money will dry up?.

[puds1970]

Aberdeen say no to Rangers.

That's it. Rangers are gone from the SPL.

Behind the scenes I bet there will be some frantic lobbying going on by Rangers.

Then again, now these clubs have all confirmed they are voting against- they cant really go back on that without disastrous PR

[Barbus]

So what happens about them potentially joining the SFL?
Do they join in the next division down from the SPL or in the bottom division? Do they SFL clubs get the chance to vote on them joining?

Haha, could be funny if they got turfed out of the SFL as well and had to go cap in hand to the league of Wales

Good point Barbus. Not really looked at that.
It might be one thing they decide on July 4th?.

[chriscl]

The question for the SFL is do they let Rangers into Division One, and thus the bottom team in the SPL doesn't get relegated, or do they put Rangers in Division Three, and shuffle the other clubs up?

Or do they tell them to do one and join the Highland Football League?

I think they have to join from the bottom. Theres no relegation from the scottish 3rd division, so its not like a non league club will miss out. If rangers move to the bottom, it will mean another team is promoted up from each division to compensate.

So Rangers being kicked out the SPL will benefit a few clubs all the way down the league system.

I really hope they have to go all the way to the bottom.

[puds1970]

St Johnstone the latest to rub salt into the wound by voting against an introduction of a new Rangers according to SSN.

[chriscl]

Rangers attempts to merge with third-division Queens Park FC have been abandoned as they couldn't come up with an appropriate name...

[TheEastIsRed]

In an attempt to fund their new venture, Rangers have signed a sponsorship deal with QuickQuid. The new company will be called The Loan Rangers.

[Raymondo Ponte']

Criminal investigation to begin from the Police as well, to do with the sale last year.

They deserve to go to prison and the club must start from the Scottish 3rd with a 20 point reduction.

Feel for the supporters, but surely some of them should have been seriously questioning the suicidal path the owners were taking them ?
