I think the newco have found their level going by yesterday. What will happen when they meet some of the big teams in the 3rd division though? May struggle.

First thing is first, i do not believe for 1 minute that Rangers will be demoted from the SPL. But what if they did? What if they were forced to start from the 3rd Division up as a new club.

Well folks, that would be the end of Scottish football.

Without a strong Rangers, Celtic would be the best team in the league and by some distance. Just look at the gap between 2nd and 3rd each year. And lets face it Celtic are not and would not be welcome in England.

Although it would be expected Rangers rocket back up the leagues it could take time before they are back to being the number 1 team in Scotland. This could see the SPL go very stale. If it goes stale and there is no healthy competition then less fans show up.

Rangers provide a lot of money for every club they come up against in the league. For the smaller teams, playing against the Old Firm teams is their biggest gates in the season. This would be slashed in 2.

The TV deal with Sky is based on Rangers and Celtic playing each other 4 teams a season. Remove this and the deal becomes void meaning Sky could walk away.

Celtic made a profit of just £180k last season despite playing 7 Old Firm games (their biggest gate) yet their chief exec thinks they could cope without Rangers.

Then there is the fact that the co-efficient is taking another battering with Belgian and even Cypriot sides goign in firther in Europe than Scottish sides meaning even more qualifiers just to qualify each year, which means more chance of failing to qualify which in turns means losing out in yet more millions.

Happy Administration Day folks.

5 hilarious years since the old Rangers entered administration.

If only someone could have predicted that Rangers would enter administration, get liquidated, start a new club and pretend it was the same thing as before*
