If they go under the league will go with it..for they and Celtic provide most of the other teams' revenue in they games the play against them.

That'll probably end the "title race" in Scotland for this year then.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Scottish Football, not even meh

The league is done if rangers are f***ed.

[cliff p]

Can see Celtic trying everything to get into the prem if rangers go to the wall.

[Tones]

Funny to see all the Celtic fans celebrating the death of their league.

 

The only times Celtic fill their ground these days is when Rangers come.

[Tosh]

Portsmouth looking likely to go into administration again.

 

10 point penalty and in another relegation scrap if that happens. What a clusterf***

Jelly and ice cream sales through the roof in Glasgow

They would still be 9 points clear of 3rd place with a 10 point deduction.

[Gambit]

Rangers will not go to the wall. Their debt is *only* £50M, they will be saved some way or another. It's shocking that a club of that size and who regularly pull in 40,000+ supporters at home matches can be struggling so badly. They're paying for their stupid spending back when they were buying up the likes of Gazza and Laudrup.

[Cobs]

so let Rangers go bust. They reform as AFC Rangers (thatpic makes a mint ). In 4 years they'll be back in the Scot Prem. Meantime we let Pompey go bust. Invite Celtic to take their place. Sectarianism is gone from Scottish Football. Rabbie's yer uncle. Jack & Danny's yer aunt.

I dont get the jelly and ice cream thing.

I dont get the jelly and ice cream thing.

Rangers fans are now free to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee in style without the intervention of pesky football?

Just refers to Celtic fans having a party over the issue doesn't it?

Rangers have gone officially into administration. I am sure Redknapp must have been employed by them in the past.

The HMRC must be loving this

[Dmitch]

Bad times! Im sure they will be ok though! Debts not that huge someone will buy them out!

Meanwhile, across town in the East End, the news of Rangers going into administration is met with a dignified silence.
