SPL to decide Gers replacement

The decision on who will replace Rangers in the Scottish Premier League is to be made on Monday.

Rangers finished second in the SPL last season but the club has subsequently been liquidated, leaving a vacancy to be filled by another side.

The newco version of the Ibrox outfit applied for a place back in the division, only to be 'overwhelmingly rejected' and have now set their sights on the Scottish Football League.

Bottom club Dunfermline have been vocal in their claims that they should be reinstated to the top flight with Rangers effectively becoming the relegated team instead.

But other Scottish clubs are believed to favour promoting Dundee, who finished as runners-up in the Scottish second tier last season.

The decision will be made on July 16.

what do you think?

Need to go down to 3rd Division to balance the books and stabalise the ship. Too many of the first team squad have departed.

I think the Scottish league will suffer without The Glasgow Rangers and no more old firm games but its only those who vetoed their return can be pleased with themselves when scottish football goes under

Problem comes from the buisness side though, good way to clear the debts, go bankrupt, start again day after with a change of name and no real punishment, meanwhile those people you owe money too get their faces rubbed in it watching same team in same league acting like nothing has happened.
