    This could well be the next debate set to rumble on, but in your opinion, who should be the 12th club?

    Dunfermline were relegated at the end of the season from the SPL, but Dundee finished 2nd behind Ross County who will be going up from Div 1.
    So, should the SPL not relegate the Pars, or should they open the door to another 1st Division club?
    Its a tough one, I must say.

    I reckon they will probably upset less people by letting Dunfermline keep their top flight status, but is that the right decision?

    The team relegated should be reinstated because they were the team arguably cheated by Rangers. The actions of Rangers had no effect on the team second in Division 1.

    In other leagues when a team folds or is moved down, the team in the relegation zone keeps their place in that league.

    Yes but, in football you have to not answer questions with such logic fran, you have to drag the fans through the mud first. You have to give hope to the hopeless, & take away the faith of the faithful. So, I'll ask again...........

    <laugh> You are right in my eyes.

    This is probably right, if not could just have a 2 stage play off between the two teams!

    Beat me to it though I think the relegated should be allowed to keep their status.

    Normally a reprieval would be issued to Dunfermline, surprising that no one has considered (even privately) who it would be. Seems like a confusing picture.

    I know that there is a meeting about letting Rangers into SFL. On Sky, it was said that Dundee were barred from voting as an interested party ??

    Yes that is what I (and everyone else) was confused about. They were 24 points off the promotion slot.

    Well, reading into that, maybe they do stand a chance of going up?

    I think a play-off between Dundee and Dunfirmline would be a good idea.

    I would have favoured the relegated side as it could be claimed that Rangers actions affected them and not any team in League 1. In interview with Green on Sky, there was no mention of players who have left, such as Davis. Has this been clarified yet.
