..... the clock is ticking and I doubt if the team who will replace Rangers will be allowed to parachute into the the first division. Time is against them and they still haven't applied for an SFA licence.
IMHO opinion the best case scenario is the New Rangers will get into to Div 3, although that will still take a bit of rule bending (5 years audited accounts required).
I'm beginning to think that Chick Green is quite happy to have no new club ready for the coming season. No doubt Chicky Green will say his hands are tied but he's only in it to make a quick buck and if that means selling off some assets to the highest bidder whilst keeping costs down then he'll be happy.
It may not be a bad thing for those fans who used to follow Rangers. It will allow Scottish Football to restructure, possible into the regularly mooted SPL1 and SPL2 allowing the new club into SPL 2.
Where does that leave ESPN? They regularly show games not featuring Glasgow Clubs and, according to them, are happy with viewing figures, I'd be surprised if they didn't put an offer on the table.
But then again this has taken so many twists and turns it may have a while to run yet. T'internet rumours have it that there's more to come
