    Exactly.

    I've said it all along when answering that very statement: show me a picture of the For Sale signs outside Ibrox and Murray Park and I'll believe they're up for grabs.

    Is the vote transparent and will each vote be publicised?

    How can rangers be allowed a vote? They don't exist so are not part of SPL.

    I asked this a few (good few) pages back and think that it is totally wrong
    They are allowed a vote because at the moment they have not been liquidated. The vote is about admitting a newco into the SPL, NOT a Rangers newco.
    As it stands, they are a member club and are entitled to vote on this, like it or not.

    That's it exactly. Only blind loyalty keeps us investing in a substandard product year after year but the minute that product becomes tainted by corruption, that's the end. I would prefer to finally buy a Sky subscription and get my football there.

    Remember Rangers will get banned from europe for 3 years, thus 2nd place is the same whether they are in league or not !

    So the chairmen will take that opportunity to finish 2nd and keep them in the league to not lose the sky deal and what they perceive to be more cash with der hun coming to there home games.


    Best of both worlds for them...


    Personally id boot them out but the above seems more realistic..

    How cool would it be to have a spare £6 million in the bank. Go out and buy Ibrox and Murray Park and then form a newco .











    and call them Clydebank .

    Hibs- No
    Hearts- No
    St Mirren- Yes
    St Johnstone- No
    Dundee Utd- ??????
    Aberdeen- ??????
    Kilmarnock- Yes
    ICT- Yes
    Celtic- No
    Ross County/Dunfermline- Yes
    Rangers- Yes
    Motherwell- Yes

    That leaves us needing a no vote from either Utd or the Sheep. Not sure how either of them will vote.


    Surely Rangers have no vote?

    All this talk about how Rangers will "die" if they didn't get the transfer embargo lifted or if they end up in SFL3 is surely irrelevant? Just now they are heading for oblivion anyway?

    As a side note it shows how little they care about what they've done, the "it was a bad man who did it and ran away" excuse doesn't wash (much like their fans). They should be grateful for a place in SFL3 and if they are as big a club as they claim they'll be back up in the SPL by 2016 and if they do go bust (again) surely they'll just enter another newco into SFL3 and start again?

    Seems to me what Rangers are after is the equivelant of resetting your game on Football Manager after you've been typing in cheats!

    I'm not convinced Celtic will vote no! they no winning the league so easily coupled by no old frim games would lead to apathy.
    Celtic fans wouldn't accept anything less than a straight no from their board...and I don't believe they would rest until they were certain of finding out who voted which way. Speaking to a Celtic fan today who suggested that with rangers effectively gone and a tough stance being taken by HMRC, there could be a number of English clubs (and some more Scottish ones for that matter) who could go the same way as rangers. If spaces open up down south, it wouldn't surprise him if Celtic explore opportunities down south...again. Part of the problem has always been taking both the ugly sisters...if there is only one to take, that option may be somewhat more palitable to the premier league?

    Big changes ahead perhaps?

    Would a newco Rangers still not be allowed to sign players over 18?

    Totally agree

    However, if Rangers are properly punished and start again as a new club and in SFL3 then I will be straight down to ER to purchase my ST. I have put this off and put it off but Hibs will get my ST money provided RFC are fairly and properly punished and I hope others will make the same commitment

    Surely it's only the old co that can get a vote. Not sure when the vote would be but HMRC may move quickly to liquidation meaning that at the time the vote takes place old co no longer exists?

    I believe Rangers have asked for the vote to take place in the lodge. Petrie's pockets are full of Black Balls.

    Peter Lawwell will be in for a rough ride over the newco into the SPL but at the end of the day I think Celtic will vote for Rangers. They will be satisfied with the humiliation Rangers have gone through and Rangers' presence, especially a weakened one, in the SPL will be no threat to their own progress. The financial implications will be too much to ignore, despite Lawwell saying that Celtic can flourish without Rangers and the the bottom line is that no pantomime is complete without two ugly sisters.

    So will I!

    Are you saying that because I don't want to watch Hibs in a corrupt league I'm not?

    Rangers have took the oiss, well and truly. They're not even apologetic, if they get back in as a newco to regain they're place I'm no watching that!

    It exists at the moment, when do they cease to exist? When they go into liquidation? The way I have read the new co route is that they would leave the old co in existence, however HMRC may move quickly to liquidate meaning old co is no longer a member of the spl and this could all happen before the spl votes. If that's the case surely new co couldn't vote?
