Oh really?
How? They used a tax-avoidance strategy that was legal at the time and all their payments to players were announced in their annual accounts, unlike another side I could mention.
If the SFA are so convinced they breached the rules with contract payments then why did they not query it when the annual accounts showed higher payments than the contracts?
Although if you start asking that question you then have to ask why they didn't investigate Craig Whyte when there was mounting evidence he was a crook and why the SFA cannot afford to give cash to clubs when they are already withholding £2,000,000 of prize money that should have gone to Rangers for finishing 2nd last year.
You might even suggest that they are insolvent if even after getting a £2 mil windfall they can't pay their bills on time...

That's nothing, have a look at the actual attendance figures. Most of the teams combined are lucky to get anywhere near an SFL3 game.
Still they don't need Rangers, once the big bad gers got punted down the leagues the fans were going to come back in their droves.
