So, now we know...
The Rangers have received what newco boss Charles Green is saying is the "ultimate punishment." 25 of the 30 teams in the Scottish Football Association voted for the team to start over at the bottom...
"I'm comfortable today that the Scottish Football League made a very, very decisive decision that was based on sporting fairness and I think the Scottish Football League were in the right place to make that decision," SFL chief executive David Longmuir said in a statement.
"This decision followed a tried-and-tested process and was taken in cognisance with the other options which were available for consideration.
"Today's decision has been one of the most difficult for all concerned but it has been taken in the best interest of sporting fairness which is the fundamental principle of the Scottish Football League.
"The Scottish Football League has been entirely consistent with our willingness to work with other bodies to ensure that we focus on rebuilding our game, restoring pride in our game and exploring revenue streams and our willingness to achieve these aims does not alter."
Here's the Forum discussion that includes Rangers and their future
And the anticipation of the vote from STVNews...
Nothing like starting over... and the same may be said about Scottish Football as conventional wisdom is calling that this act is the beginning of the end of Scottish football.
