Parties before the commission were: The Scottish Premier League Limited, represented by Mr. Rod McKenzie of Harper MacLeod; and Oldco, represented by Mr. James Mure QC, instructed by Mr Michael McLaughlin of DWF Biggart Baillie.

 

Mr Mure QC also on 31 January represented Rangers Football Club and The Rangers Football Club Ltd (â??Newcoâ?) in regard to submissions on any possible sanction which might apply in the event that any breach was established.

 

The Commission has reserved judgement and will issue a full written decision in due course.

 

Until that decision is issued no further comment will be made.
