What's required is a solution that keeps an emasculated Rangers in the SPL. Punishment has to be something within the SPL's powers and also
fits in with UEFA's dim view of clubs who (1) spend beyond their means (as defined by their collateral and turnover) and who (2) take their own ruling body to court. The 12-month signing ban seemed to do the job but now the SPL lawyers and accountants will have to devise something similar but indisputably legal. What Rangers think of it is irrelevant.

Elvis, a rather ignorant post if I may say so. Rangers and Celtic have both appeared in European finals recently, albeit the lesser UEFA Cup, but that hardly consitututes joke football when it's good enough for Porto and Atletico Madrid. Scottish football is not as good as it was, granted, but it isn't as bad as you seem to think. Take away the top 5/6 in England and you don't really have a lot to offer there either, and where would they all be without the Sky money?
As for the demotion issue; Rangers probably should go down to the Third Division, (I would take out my season ticket again after a lapse of four years if they did), and stick two fingers up to the SFA at the same time because the lucrative Sky deal will go with them. Sky have four OF games written into their contract and, without those games, there is no deal.
I agree unreservedly that Rangers need to be punished, but people are appearing out of the woodwork in all directions to stick the knives in, and the extreme suggestions, such as witholding 75% of moneys and a rolling three year points deduction of fiteen points are draconian. There is a precedent of relegation, (Livingston), but Motherwell and Dundee weren't demoted when they went into administration.
As a newco I think the Third Division is the best option, and the most honourable course for the club, although I fear we could be playing at Benburb rather than Ibrox.

Now I'm getting really worried.
Linfield will always be my first and most important love, (size isn't everything), but, ahving lived in cotland for a very long time, I will miss Ibrox and matchday very much if we disappear forever.
"Sir" David Murray and Craig Whyte have a hell of a lot to answer for.
