It transpires that Rangers actually couldn't afford the players either, well not without the help of you and I and every other tax payer in the country.
Before Rangers started financially doping the Scottish league it was more competitive than the EPL has been in the last decade. In the 80s Aberdeen won the league 3 times, Dundee Utd once, Celtic 4 times and Rangers only twice. Hearts narrowly missed out on the last day of the season in 1985/86.
Edit... Is it coincidence that Aberdeen, Dundee United and Hearts are the first three clubs to confirm a no vote for the New Rangers getting direct entry into the SPL
