UEFA will not investigate allegations that Rangers were incorrectly awarded a licence to play in European competition in the 2011/12 season.

A statement to STV draws a line under the matter from the governing body's point of view, saying Rangers' three-year exclusion from playing in Europe after going into liquidation was the major factor in a case not being pursued.

A group of Celtic shareholders have actively campaigned for a review of the decision for several years and recently contacted the governing body for clarification as part of an ongoing campaign referred to as Resolution 12.

Their questions centred on whether the Ibrox side fully disclosed the details of an unpaid £2.8m tax bill to HM Revenue and Customs, commonly known as the "wee tax case", ahead of their participation in the Champions League five years ago.

UEFA rules demand participants in the Champions and Europa Leagues declare to them any "overdue payables" to the taxman, with details on whether there is a commitment to repay amounts, or a dispute over any bill.

Failure to disclose accurate information during what is referred to as the "monitoring period", which is spread over two dates in June and September, can result in sanctions.

A UEFA spokesperson told STV: "As a consequence of decisions taken against Rangers FC in 2012 as well as the administration of the club and the events and measures that followed (including the club being ineligible to apply for a licence to participate in UEFA competitions for three seasons), there is no need for UEFA to investigate this matter any further since the club was not granted a licence to participate in the 2012/13 UEFA club competitions, the club entered the fourth tier of Scottish football and it was not able to play in UEFA competitions for the next three years in any event."

STV asked the governing body for further clarification on whether an investigation took place, and on whether they were satisfied the correct procedure was followed. UEFA replied that they had no further comment to make.

As a precedent, clubs who fail to declare or repay overdue amounts to the tax authorities have typically been banned from UEFA from playing in Europe for one season in any of the following three years after a sanction is imposed.

Another fail by a support more interested in Rangers than their own club.

Probably sent their wains to school wearing last years uniform so they could greet about the big bad Gers. 

It's their warped answer to us knocking them out of the cup. Best start saving up then dhims because there will be a lot more defeats next season!

So not only do they get their ridiculous claim laughed out of town, but they managed to also get confirmation from the governing body that we are the same club.

Indeed, it's like their ASA campaign on steroids. 

Backfired spectacularly.

" the club entered the fourth tier of Scottish football and it was not able to play in UEFA competitions for the next three years in any event." LOL double whammy for the obsessed fuc*ers...basically confirming we were demoted. "As a consequence of decisions taken against Rangers FC in 2012 as well as the administration of the club and the events and measures that followed (including the club being ineligible to apply for a licence to participate in UEFA competitions for three seasons)" the amount of times I tried to explain this to timmy,that UEFA regarded the creation of a newco merely as a change to the club's company structure,hence an interruption of membership meaning the club cannot apply for a UEFA licence for three years,but no we were pyoor deed n that...they could have saved themselves not only all that personal independence payment money but also the humiliation that they are the laughing stock of football.
