Glasgow Rangers may have to find a new home outside the Scottish Premier League since the number of owners asked to allow the "newco" version of Rangers under their new ownership in Charles Green won't meet the desired 8-4 margin of approval...
Holly Hamilton describes what's up...
The new series of angst centers around the idea that Rangers is still Rangers even as the tax debt created by Craig Whyte is being settled by Her Majesty's Royalty and Customs (HMRC), administrator Duff and Phelps, and new owner Green.
This is turning out to be the largest opportunity for debate in Scottish soccer since... well, ever...
It's the opportunity for economic revenge on Rangers by the other SPL franchises. It's the opportunity for the league to lose at least a million pounds in the value of their TV deal without Rangers as a commodity to square off against Celtic. And it's the opportunity for every other level of Scottish soccer to extract some kind of corporate revenge against the team that has won more titles than any other team on the planet.
Here's the first ideas that Rangers would have to find a home elsewhere...
But, then, the larger question is: Where to put them...? If they're turned down by the SPL Wednesday- which is likely, they can't be relegated to the Scottish Football League below Premier because of the relegation ladder and its ups-and-downs that are law.
The thoughts by some fans are that Rangers just need to go to League Three- the baseball equivalent of Single-A- and just start over...
