The history may have to be rewritten of the old Rangers to remove a few titles they won illegally.

Pffft. Given the SPL's record of enforcement I can't see that going ahead, even if it does they'll make a hash of it.
Still even if they do the titles will always be Rangers in the minds of their fans. Celtic count the goals they scored during WW2 even though they aren't officially theirs (funnily enough their record defeat to Rangers during that period isn't counted in their records
)

The other teams might want a chance to win but it doesn't change the fact the rules don't allow Celtic to move leagues and the English clubs don't want them.

They'll support the new Rangers team that will be playing at Ibrox.

They'll vote the way Lawell tells them to...
3rd Division is the way forward for Rangers. Stuff the rest of them, let them see how they get on with a vastly reduced media deal and the loss of two big home gates each season. Rangers should go on and rebuilt and let the investigations into Murray, White, Duff and Phelps and the rest run their course.
If the home crowds increase then happy days, I can't see it and think the crowds will reduce overall. Certainly after the initial boost the manky mob will see their reported gates drop off markedly without the Old Firm games. There are an awful lot of Mothers Days over in the East End.
