Any ideas what they are going to call themselves? Newco Rangers doesnt quite have a ring to it.

I expected the decision to go the other way for the sake of the money.
Hopefully going forward clubs will start to live within their means and a more level playing field will be left for all to compete against.

Kudos to the SFA for doing the right thing, but never expect the FA to reciprocate when their spokesmen have openly stated that they would never, never allow a club of repute to go under for failing to run their business competently (for let's not kid ourselves - that's all they are). They will do a France/US style market intervention bail out evey time.
The FA are much like the EU in that respect; the illusion of greatness attains far more importance than the reality of the substance, even if they have sold their soul thrice over to Sky..

The SFA haven't done anything. The SPL refused us entry and the SFL accepted our entry and said we had to start in div 3. So far the SFA has done fcuk all right....

The SFL have done everything right. Why should Rangers be allowed straight into the first division? The rules are there to be followed and not for everyone except the Auld Firm.

It's not over yet. Not by a long way.

Could be an interesting meeting on Monday. Can't see SPL2 going anywhere, there is no chance that they could get it up and running in 3 weeks, in addition I think Teams need to give either 1 or 2 years notice to quit their league. The SFA/SPL need to accept that their bloodlust to destroy Rangers has probably killed Scottish football as we know it, or made it as attractive as the welsh league. It could have been so easy too, allow Rangers into the SPL, then punish them with a 75 point deduction from last season. Result Rangers finish bottom and are relegated, Dunfermline remain in the SPL. SFA etc are happy as Rangers have been punished but keep all their sky deals etc. Regan and Doncaster should do the honorable thing and resign, this has been a fiasco from start to finish!

How can you relegate a team before the season starts? Doesn't make sense. If you're talking about last season then the lowest we could finish would be 6th. The split sees to that.

Surely the Rangers football club that finished last season the one that couldn't pay the taxmans bills and subsequently went bankrupt/bust and therefore is no longer around. What exists now is a new company with different directors, chairman etc, hence the earlier question posed by another poster what will this newly formed company entering Div 3 team be called because it ain't the organisation that went belly up, it's branded as a newco.

What are you on about? The club remains the same. It's the parent company (and holder of the registration) that was taken over by a crook and ruined. The team is called The Rangers Football Club. Always has been, always will be. It was formed in 1872. The corporate entity that is currently in liquidation (The Rangers Football Club PLC) wasn't formed until 1899.

Surely Ibrox belongs to the creditors after liquidation? Don't Rangers Newco need to find a new home?
No, when HMRC refused to agree to a CVA the Rangers FC Ltd entered liquidation and its assets were sold to Greens new company, currently called Sevco 5088 until such time as a they get permission from the liquidators to adopt the The Rangers FC Ltd name, for 5.5 million pounds.
Ah, a step up in class then?:0
Ha, Scottish Independence will put the kybosh on that!
DT_Xtremez_31: That would be like inviting some random foreign nation to play in the Rugby Home Nations Championship... Oh, wait.... DT_Xtremez_21:I vaguely remember a football news article from about 15 years ago: A Canadian businessman, with Scottish roots, had about 10 million quid going begging (as you do!) so being a bit of a Jock footy supporter he decided to donate it to Rangers - his reasoning was "for the betterment of Scottish football"! I couldn't understand his reasoning at the time and I still dont understand it but I bet he's kicking himself now.

Lets be honest the 'old firm' in the EPL will never happen. The scottish FA wouldn't allow scottish players into the Great Britain team for the Olympics (then they had the gall to complain when no scots were named in the squad!) so why would thay allow their teams to run off play in another league.....
And much like Rangers plumet to the lower division - even with some trying to parachute them into the 1st Div IF they did make to the english league it should be start at the bottom and work your way up.... it's what every other team has to do!
As for the Rangers thing yes dumping them in the bottom division is the right thing, if it's right for Scottish Football we'll see in the coming years. The way they are losing players at the minute i don't think they'll be making an easy and quick return to the top. The Scottish FA trying to stop them bringing in new players for 12 months (which was stopped by the courts) would probably ensure they stay in Div 3 for at least a year. Now the decision is made as to where they're playing i can see more playing legging it, one has already come out and said he's off as he's not playing at that low a level.

International clearance for the transfers have been put on hold as Green continues to dispute the players' status.
Naismith has moved to Everton
Whittaker has signed for Norwich
Ness has joined Stoke
Northern Irish duo Davis to Saints and Lafferty to Swiss side Sion
Goalkeeper Allan McGregor is in talks with Turkish club Besiktas.
Just a few of those trying to jump ship

I thought the business previously known as Glasgow Rangers FC had gone to the wall, whoever did it.
Hence my earlier post it's a new company called something else so the Glasgow Rangers company of 1872 exist now in the record and history books. Didn't know about the £5.5m but wether the team will be called Sevco 5088 is I agree most unlikely but surely it can't be the same name as it was. Rangers maybe or Rangers FC, locally Telford United went bust/bankrupt then were bought by new chairman/owners but renamed as AFC Telford, there are other examples.
