I just hope the SPL survives. It would be terrible if the Scottish game suffered as a result of 1 clubs recklessness. Motherwell have already suggested they may face administration due to Rangers dropping out of the league.

There is also a suggestion that Rangers might get expelled from next seasons Scottish Cup. Live television coverage of the Scottish FA Cup is currently shared between BBC Scotland and Sky Sports. Again I wonder how SKY will feel knowing Rangers won't feature in any of their coverage.

BBC ALBA screens live coverage of matches from the Scottish First Division including the end of season play-offs as well as live coverage of the Scottish Challenge Cup. So it looks like Rangers fans might see their team on TV after all.

I might cancel my subscription to SKY Sports in the summer. I only watch Rangers, Scotland, boxing and tennis when Andy Murray is playing. Rangers are pretty much a no go, Scotland away games are on BBC One Scotland, SKY have slashed their boxing coverage to 20 shows in the year and I can still see plenty of tennis on ESPN, Eurosport, BBC and ITV. I doubt I'll even watch 2 hours of programming on ESPN per week now.
