    If Rangers were liquidated and had to start from the bottom (which I don't think will happen) then the SPL would still survive for a while but the quality would drop, attendances would drop, sponsored would pull out and a TV deal would be a fraction of what it is now.

    Basically, Rangers die, so does Scottish football.

    You can't kill off the Champions of a country and expect no repercussions.

    Yes, the SPL and Celtic will manage. No doubt about that. However, to think that the loss of Rangers will have no material effect on the SPL clubs is delusional.

    The most exciting thing to happen in Scottish football in the last 10 years was Gretna reaching the UEFA Cup. Shame about the 5-1 dicking against Derry in qualifying, like.

    In England the teams who are competing at the top changes over the course of 5/10 years. 10 years ago, Leeds and Newcastle were playing in the Champions League. One ended up in the 3rd Division and the other got relegated three years ago (though is now back and competing for a Champions League place). Now we have Spurs and Man City competing at the top, and ten years ago one was in the 2nd Division and the other was a mid-table side at best.

    In Scotland, nobody but Celtic and Rangers ever has a chance of getting a top two spot, bar Hearts in 2006 (the exception that proves the rule).

    The Central Belt in Scotland and 99% of England <whistle>

    Basically anywhere South of Aberfeldy is full of ******s in my book.

    Shepherds Bush is less than 1% of England <whistle>

    To be honest both Scotland and England are ****e for the most part, i do wonder why immigrants actually come here, go somewhere worth it, like Italy or Amsterdam <ok>

    Anyone who says "Scotch" with reference to the Scots or Scottish is either as thick as ****e in the neck of a bottle or the worst kind of ****knuckle for thinking that anyone with any sense will rise to his bait.

    Which is it then? Are you simply a small minded moron or a pathetic excuse for a wum for using patter that went out with the ark?

    I'll go for the first option
