When the Huns get pottedwho will take their place in the SPL? Will Dundee as the 1st runners up get promoted or will Dunfy retain their SPL status? Maybe a preseason playoff would be a fair decision? who would .netters prefer?

), and nothing has happened to the Dees so they should get promoted 
(the fact Dens is 20 mins from my door is just convenient and has in every way influenced my decision

Could this not be an ideal time to expand the league, keep Dunfermline and add maybe Dundee and Falkirk

Dunfermline for me, the rules are only one team is promoted, daft but them are the rules. Ross County have been promoted, but there should now be a place available.
That should go to Dunfermline, i'd imagine if Rangers had gone pop or any club gone bust during the season, there would not have been any relegation, and the team who won the first division promoted as usual?

Think I read somewhere that the rules are different depending on when they were potted. If The went before the end of the season then there would've been no relegation and Ross County would've been promoted as usual. However, because it'll be after the season is over, two teams now come up from the 1st division and Dunfermline stay down.

Would like to see the Pars stay up, good away day and quality bridies/stovies. Frankly the food alone should trump any footballing/fair play arguments.

Hopefully Dunfermline - a properly run club - stay up, instead of promoting another team that cheated financially for their own gain.

But as stated in another post, has this mistake not been made before when aberdeen were in midst of relegation and got away with it due to the 10-12 team structure change and no play offs were held? I know falkirk did not meet the spl rules but surely other teams below them would have?

An interesting dilemma, but sadly one I don't think will come to pass.
With Dundee as a city going through such a huge rejuvenation right now, it would be good to see the Dundee derby return to the city. However, despite their decent campaign last year they still finished 24 points behind Ross County. Hardly a standout in second place. There was a clear best team in the league and it's not as if they narrowly missed out. Plus, I'd see it somewhat ironic that a club (potentially) disappearing on account of denying a lot of people owed monies would then be replaced by another club who have done the same thing. Twice.
Dunfermline were almost undeniably impacted by Rangers' cheating last year, beaten by a team who fielded players they couldn't afford and have since (potentially) gone into non-existence.
I suppose the argument should be rewarding success rather than preserving failure.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Reporter from the Evening Times was on Talk Sport this morning and he said that they had already been told that should Rangers get booted down the leagues then it would be Dundee who would take their place. The guy seemed absolutely sure that this would be the case.

Given that a league without rangers would be unthinkable, I think the question should be - Brora or Cove for the SPL?

The predecent down south (particularly in non-league where this is an annual occurence) is that the 'relegated' side gets a reprieve.

If Dundee are promoted after the fixtures are released I'd presume there would be a major re-shuffling of the fixtures.

Would prefer Dundee, developed a bit of a soft spot for them when they had Ravanelli and co at Dens and would be good for the league to have a Dundee derby.
Wouldn't be surprised if Dunfermline would prefer the 1st Division with all the Fife derbies to look forward to

Dundee, Dunfermline finished bottom and deserve to be relegated. Dundee were runners up in the SFL1 and therefore are the logical choice to fill any vacancy.

Would prefer the name Rangers is kept on the fixture list, the games aren't played but an automatic 3-0 victory against them awarded to the other team.
That way the Huns can greet every week seeing the corpse of their 'proud institution' being flogged for everyone else's amusement.
That would be my preference.
