the gunslinger 3,366 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If the sfa made us re apply we would not be the same club. But they didnt and we are. So laugh at anyone who says otherwise. We should remember it though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The SFA didn't want to lose Rangers they wanted them in the 1st division so as we were back in the SPL the next year. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,674 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 When we got booted out the SPL we had to apply to the SFL. When we had to do that the only division we were going to was SFL3 (the bottom division). It was incredible that so many in the SPL didn't realise this 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 There's quite a lot of reasons that Rangers fans "wanted" to go to division 3. After being voted out by our peers and so-called friends, we wanted nothing to do with them for a while, hopefully punishing them financially quite a bit in the process. We also thought that if we're going to do this, we don't want any favours as we wanted to come back having served whatever time we were supposed to have and therefore have a clean slate with everyone - what a mistaken idea that was. We were also in a financial nightmare and didn't want to be back in the SPL having the indignity of fighting for a mid-table place for a season or two while we rebuilt. We also wanted to make new friends and help all the teams in the lower leagues with blue pound. There are many other reasons too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
