RANGERRAB

The ten SPL chairmen who voted Rangers out the SPL may well have a problem if Whyte is found guilty of a fraudulent takeover. Punishing a club which was the victim of a crime could have serious repercussions for some.

I just hope our board have got sound legal advice for all of this

We won't get a fee. We'll probably need to pay him off

Will we ever learn about signing 30-something players looking to top up their pension pot ? Do they really care if they're playing or not as long as they're getting paid ?

Why the need to wait til january ? If he wants away & Rangers agree to release him he can go anytime

Obviously UEFA aren't interested in a 'deid club' then ?

There are excptions though aren't there ? Leverkusen are owned by a pharmaceutical company & Wolfsburg owned by VW. No idea how RB Leipzig got round that ruling

After German unification 26 years ago how many East German clubs got into the new unified german leagues? I seem to remember Hansa Rostock being one

I don't believe some of the transfer fees they claim to have received. Did anyone seriously believe Van Dijk's value quadrupled after two years in the top division without Rangers? And after several hammerings in Europe?

McCoist signing Boyd & Miller two years ago was a major contributing factor to costing him his job IMO

Newco had to pay oldco's fines. The board were correct to do this whether we like it or not. No trophies or titles were stripped. They couldn't be after LNS declared we had 'no sporting advantage'

If McClean hates the UK so much why is he living & working in it ? why doesn't he just do us all a favour & leave. He won't be missed. Go & live in the EU-controlled 22 county state. And please take some of the pseudo-Irish from Glasgow's east end with you. We won't miss them either. And what's WBA's view on this ? Do they think this acceptable ?

DoesKenny Miller maybe fancy a comeback for the England game too?

I think this is a very valid point. I'd like to think the current Rangers board have been pursuing this. Unfortunately I think as a consequence of the club being allowed to continue I.e. membership being transferred from oldco to newco this had to be forfeited

Not quite. The oldco was put into a liquidation process after the CVA got rejected. That liquidation process is ongoing and will be for years to come. In football terms the SFA membership/licence got transferred from oldco to newco so the club continued. Any football fines and debts from oldco has to be paid by newco such as this EBT fine. Rangers board had no choice but to pay it

Or is their jerry-built stadium now causing them some concern ?? Wee whispers I'm hearing. Do you know the San Giro costs nearly £1m p.a. maintenance ? Rather a lot ? Anyway let's put out a wee anti-Rangers story. Keep them masses happy eh ?

The football authorities have clearly stated that Rangers are the same club today since 1872. If oldco broke football rules newco has to pay. The Rangers board had to pay this fine. Let's move on.

Oh dear big bad Rangers are now second in the league and the usual suspects aren't happy. The difference between us & them is we have people who put money into the club.

It is clear we are getting better after making one or two changes. I just wish these changes had been made a few weeks ago & we'd be in a better position than we are now.

Yep would appear LW is the second player to have scored in all four divisions of Scottish football for one club

Is Lee Wallace the first player to have scored in all four divisions of Scottish football for the one club ? Anyone know?

Excellent performance. Only gripe was the subs made little impact

Quite funny to read the OP calling the SFA a 'footballing watchdog' or whatever.

Don't understand why Ashley is still involved in football. All it brings him is bad publicity

There are tmes in life when you have to move on. FWIW after watching Wednesday night I think a MF of Barton, Halliday & Holt (with Barton the sitting MF) would be a more than decent MF. It would allow Halliday & Holt to push forward in their more natural roles rather thn constantly chasing back like they had to do on wednesday night
