I heard something similar when we were granted entry to the SFL. It was along the lines of the SFL and SPL being two completely separate organisations and league bodies, which would mean we'd be under no need to switch to the SPL after winning SFL 1 as much as this is current protocol.. The places in Europe are at the hands of the SFA, not the SPL or SFL and it would be possible to grant Rangers a place in Europe.... Not that this seems very likely
