League splits at the end doesn't it? Play all 11 other teams 3 times each, then the split, then play the other 5 in your half of the table once again.
Thanks. So Sky wouldn't have to pay the money if either Rangers or Celtic finished outside the top 6. Strange contract.

SSN breaking news that it's confirmed Rangers will not be playing in the Premier League next season. Dundee or Dunfermline to replace them.

Votes for SFL to come, Rangers need 16 out of thirty to vote in their favour.

BREAKING NEWS

Excellent start, but justice hasn't been done yet!!

What is next? Do Div 1 teams vote on whether they are allowed in that division, or is that for another day?

When do they vote?

Please say today, Rangers all but killed in a few hours would be smashing.

It doesn't matter which league they end up in now: Division 1, 2, 3 or the Highland League. They're still going to be HILARIOUSLY out of all proportion to all the other teams in it.

Have the rest of the players quit yet?

It would, but even going to the third div wouldn't end them.

Who now owns their ground? They were/are being liquidated, so has it/will it be put on the open market?

Why can't we all have a vote on whether Pompey should be allowed to compete next season?

I know they're technically the same company but if you take the piss and cheat everyone by racking up massive debts, then wipe them out and start again, surely that makes you a Newco?

A great decision. Would have made mockery out of the system had they been allowed to enter the newco into the PL.

I dont know why they just dont apply to Div 3 and be done with it, do the honourable thing and start again.

They will be back in the SPL in 3 years.

Scottish football will survive, just a lot of scare mongering going on.

Not just survive, it will be better for it, as this will act as a salutary lesson to the rest about over-spending. It will also give someone else a chance to be competing at the top, so that by the time Rangers get back to the SPL (3 years, please!) then maybe someone else has fluked their way into the CL Group stages and that money makes them a genuine competitor to the big two.

It'd be funny if they failed to get out of Div 1 for a few seasons. Like, almost getting there but JUST missing out. Like with Huddersfield and League One.

Be even funnier if they don't get into Div 1 for a few seasons.

Definitely. And given the financial risks to the clubs that made the decision, I take my hat off to them for doing the right thing.

Meanwhile I fart in the general direction of the SFA and SPL for allowing the vote in the first place, and again if the vote was not private.
