So it is SFL Division 3 for Rangers next season! It will be at least three years before they are back in the premier league competing with Celtic (assuming Scottish football doesn't reorganise).

This makes ESPN's sports offering, after they lose the English Premier League, look a bit weaker. Will ESPN still merit a place in the XL pack after next season, could the XL pack money be better spent? I am all for sports channels; perhaps a compromise position would be to keep ESPN but with Virgin playing considerably less for a less attractive package.
