RIP Rangers FC 1872-2012

What you get for cheating the taxman I suppose. When will people ever learn??

Rangers went into administration a few months ago and the HMRC decided that they would not accept the CVA and so the club is to be liquidated. Businessman Charles Green has bought Rangers' assets for a paltry 5.5 million and will start a new company meaning the club won't be able to recognise its past trophies. More than likely we will begin in Scottish Div 3 but there is a push by some to join the English Football Conference (Div 5). The next few months will be interesting to say the least.

For all the latest news:

SCottish soccer is already a 2 team comp.

Does this mean it's now a 1 team comp?

Incredible that the people running the club should think that they would get away with cheating the taxman.

Such an old club with a lot of history, if I was a supporter I would be unforgiving towards those responsible for bringing the club down.

Just doesn't get any better for them...breaking news over here...

Rangers in crisis: Police asked to probe Craig Whyte takeover

A criminal investigation is to be launched into the acquisition of Rangers Football Club in May last year.

The Crown Office asked Strathclyde Police to probe the purchase and the club's subsequent financial management.

The investigation into alleged criminality follows a preliminary examination of information passed to police by administrators.

The club was bought by Craig Whyte in 2011 before going into administration in February this year.

Breaking news over here for any of you poofball fans that follow Rangers...

Rangers' "newco" have been voted into Division Three following a meeting of Scottish Football League clubs, BBC Scotland understands.

SFL chief executive David Longmuir is expected to give a media conference within the next 10 minutes.

The Scottish Football Association and Scottish Premier League had offered a reorganisation of the structure if Rangers were placed in Division One.

But a majority of the 30 SFL clubs said they should start in the bottom tier.

More to follow.

Don't you just love people, clearly threatened by the international success of the WORLD game, who still call football 'poofball' or 'wogball'.

Aren't aussie rules footballers bigger poofs for all the ass-grabbing and horizontal dancing they do on the floor?

Just refer the game to it's proper name please, withOUT the mundane stereotypes. If you don't respect the game, don't insult my intelligence and post about it.

I understand your frustration towards these people HTWWW as I love watching it also, but to then sink to there level and have a go at Aussie rules players the same way is a bit much, it really doesn't solve a thing.

I know. I had to make people think though. I think we can play on from this point. I'm prepared to move on!

Not a problem
