As much as I was keen to see Rangers v Celtic games back as soon as possible, it is hard to argue against this.

Beat me to it Chad. But if Rangers aren't let in to, at least, Div 3 wouldn't that leave a league with only nine clubs?

Yeah it'll mean one of the leagues will go a team down. Scottish football is in a total mess. One team going into liquidation is having a massive impact on all 42 clubs.
Lets rewind 4 years ago when Gretna went into liquidation.
The team struggled badly in the SPL and the club were placed in administration when businessman Brooks Mileson, its main financial backer, withdrew funds due to ill health. At the end of the season, all of the club's staff were made redundant and the club were relegated to the Third Division. After this demotion, the one remaining offer to buy the club was withdrawn. The club resigned their place in the Scottish Football League on 3 June and were formally liquidated on 8 August.
Funny how the SPL / SFA weren't bending over backwards to shake-up Scottish football to accommodate Gretna.
Unless Rangers go down to division 3, Scottish football as a whole will be nothing short of corrupt.
