Glasgow Rangers FC signal intent to go into administration.

As a Hibs fan I'm pretty smug about this (hearts even more so) but as much as I'd like us to surge to the top of the table on the back of this ( not happening), I'm sure FC Rangers of Glasgow and FC Hearts will work their way up from division 3 soon enough. Still it'll be lovely to see tyncastle as a tesco...

That is all.

Why do you say that?

The vote on letting SEVCO into the SPL is now officially scheduled for the 4th of July, so we'll soon know one way or the other. Also seeing as we all like politics, here is a useful summary of the individual clubs positions on SEVCO: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18422397

5 clubs have now said no to the newco, their players are leaving like rats on a sinking ship and even the newco has no money at all. There is no way they are in the SPL next season, at best it will be third division and even that is in doubt. This is beautiful.

Is there any possibility whatsoever for the Celtics to leave the SPL or is it conceivable that one of the Edinburgh clubs could take the place of the Rangers?

There is no way Celtic can leave, they've been trying to get into England for years now but no one wants them. Of the Edinburgh clubs Hearts are going the way of rangers and Hibs (maybe I'm slightly biased) are financially secure but have had an awful record in the last few seasons. It's possible Hibs, Dundee United or Aberdeen could challenge Celtic but it's unlikely there would be quite the level of poisonous rage and anger between the two. What's likely to happen is Celtic win everything for the next few years, but the other clubs become more competitive while Rangers gradually work their way up. Although even when they eventually do reach the SPL the league will be completely different: it will have a fairer allocation of money more teams and a better voting system. Basically Rangers downfall is the best thing to happen to Scottish football for a long long time.

I should probably stop re bumping this thread, although hopefully this will be the last time. 

Because now the SPL has stopped Rangers newco entering the SPL by a vote of 10-1-1. Also they are unlikely to enter SFL1 because only 2 more clubs need to declare to block them and of the declarations so far its 12-1. But perhaps the most beautiful part of this very beautiful saga, is of the clubs who are declared no votes, one, Cowdenbeath, is run by the charming Donald Findlay.

Buying this version of Rangers, and selling them when they inevitably get back into the SPL could actually be a rare example of someone making money from a football club (a bit like Celtic in the 90s)
