Darren Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Reassuring that Tom English's rugby copy is just as bad as his football stuff. In his Scotland v Tonga ramblings, he describes zooming in on incidents as a "space-age capacity". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The space age started in 1957 so I think he's technically correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the clubs voted to put the New Rangers in (the bottom tier), rather than confining them to oblivion. Like (nearly) all the other liquidated clubs down the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the new entity reapplied to the SFL, obviously starting at the lowest tier. Was it Spartans who applied to join at the same time or have I made that up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dundee were Club 12 - they were by the end of the season, at any rate. There was chat that The Spartans were contemplating applying but once it became obvious Rangers International were going to apply, Spartans withdrew. That's the way I remember it. (There may have been other applicants floating about.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried getting into the top tier first (think oldco still had SPL membership and they wanted that to pass onto newco), that failed with fan pressure on the clubs voting on it, they then tried to get them into the 2nd tier, and that failed too, so they were allowed into the bottom tier. Revisionism by Sevco fans has them being relegated to the bottom tier. Edited September 25, 2023 by LIVIFOREVER 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one voted them 'down'; they were voted admission (which they shouldn't have been). Some craven clubs wanted the new scum club in the SPL and thankfully that was easily defeated, as was an attempt to vote them in to the First Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a St Mirren board member at the time was ‘Rangers minded’ as they say, and St Mirren were in the middle of trying to complete the sale of the club to the fans group. Some people put 2 and 2 together and got 5, saying that there was an opportunity for Rangers fans to hijack the deal with them having a board member ‘on the inside’. I think it was complete nonsense, Rangers fans couldn’t even be bothered to throw in a few quid to save their own club so I don’t know how they were going to go about funding the purchase of St. Mirren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Rangers entered liquidation. SPL voted 10-1 (+1 abstention) against transferring membership to Rangers NewCo. Rangers NewCo applied to SFL asking to join directly at SFL1. SFL clubs voted 25-5 against that... 29-1 in favour of electing them to SFL3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
