The Scottish FA can tonight clarify the position surrounding the outstanding Appellate Tribunal related to Rangers FC Oldco. It has been agreed with Sevco Scotland Ltd that the registration embargo will be accepted as a primary condition of a transfer of membership. It is necessary to complete the judicial process following the determination by Lord Glennie in the Court of Session that required the Independent Appellate Body to revisit available sanctions relating to Oldco, having been found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute. The Scottish FA indicated to Sevco Scotland Ltd that they had to accept responsibility for any sanctions arising out of this case as a condition of transfer of membership. Rather than convening the Appellate Tribunal to determine from the sanctions available to it, the company directors of Sevco Scotland Ltd have chosen to accept the 12-month registration embargo. This embargo will begin on 1st September 2012 and end on 31st August 2013. Sevco Scotland Ltd have also undertaken to accept all other outstanding conditions relating to Oldco’s charges of bringing the game into disrepute. The conditional offer of transfer will now be submitted to the Appellate Tribunal for its consideration. This will form part of the approval process for the transfer of membership which, once approved, will enable Rangers FC to take a considerable step towards participating in Irn Bru Division Three. In addition to the above, the Scottish FA has also received the necessary financial information requested and this is being considered as part of the application process. Subject to the completion of all legal documentation, we anticipate transfer of membership next week. The imposition of conditions relating to transfer of membership was made on the basis that the Scottish FA, as the governing body, has an obligation to protect the integrity of the national game and to ensure that all member clubs operate within the Articles of Association http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_fa_news.cfm?page=1961&newsID=10229&newsCategoryID=1

Well thats that cleared up then, cheers

Condolences to the Original Captain America who has lost his son, Jack, to cancer. Thoughts and prayers with him and his family. Reyna with the wee man in 2000 (Hampden Scottish Cup after 4-0 win against Aberdeen)

Wee Mervan play that mob himself?

I don't know the complete ins and outs of what transferring contracts would have been. If they left for nothing then guys like Davis and McGregor would get a huge signing on fee at their new clubs and its all about the money. It was barbaric Whittaker was on the sort of money he was, I think the young lad McMillan wouldve turned into a better RB. I agree about McCabe and Ness though. They have proven nothing in the game and owed us a lot for their development. The senior players desserted a sinking ship all for the greater interest of their own pockets. Loyalty doesnt exist in football anymore though.

Zombie Rangers? Not heard that patter before, that what the primary school kids call us or sumthin?

And its a big problem. I thought at first they wanted a precedent set by going after us first. Vodafone got away with billions and Chelsea operated some sort of image rights scheme. I think they owed something like £12m but Chelsea said, "Nah, hows about £6m and we'll settle". Seems you can haggle with the taxman now. It would have been widespread in Britain. There is no way, for example, Man Utd wouldnt have found out about this if say, Chelsea were luring in the big guns. There is so much going on just now it is unreal. Its someone different sticking the boot into us each day. The football season starting would be a welcome distraction to all this. I apologise to the OP for calling you deluded. As I said earlier, my napper is frazzled with all this shite. Roll on East Stirling at Ibrox for a full house. I think it will be special.

I would reckon Whyte is more likely to have been put in there by Murray than Dermott. As much as I loved Bomber as a player I think he has made a bit of an arse of himself recently. As for your questions mate, I would love to know the answers too. Ibrox, Murray Park and The Albion Car Park for £1.5m or so? That just isnt right. Hope Green hasnt got ulterior plans for these.

Surely the only way for us to have our titles stripped would be someone (Green) saying, "Aye Ok". It would be impossible to prove we wouldnt have won the League and Cups had we not used EBT's. We had guys like Vignal, Ball, Malcolm in our starting XI FFS

Green hasnt told us very much which is worrying for me. Whyte knows he is not welcome in Glasgow and Green would be hounded too if a link to Whyte could be established. Like you say, these guys are chancers but they must have a level of intelligence in order to cover any trails going back to them. The worst Whyte would look for is to walk away having broken even. Sadly though, I think he stole between £20m-30m then got his boys Duff and Phelps in to help themselves to a further £5m odd. Surprised the courts havent investigated this 2bh, the judge that appointed D+P as administrators must have thought, "What the fuck have I done?"

Remember what Airdrie did? Bought Clydebank and liquidated Airdrieonians and changed Clydebank to Airdrie Utd? I think this guy Withey tried to do this with St Mirren (with Whyte on board). Withey, RangersSecretary, Whyte's lawyer, previously worked for Collyer and Bristow. I smell a rat!

If that were to happen then surely some Sheikh would buy us and fight for us to go too? They couldnt surely say 'yes' to them and 'no' to us. If the figures for SPL prize money I saw are accurate then they will weaken as well over the next few seasons combined with the massive cut in TV money. My thinking is our wage bill will be pennies compared to previous seasons but we will still get the crowds at Ibrox so it could put us in a very healthy position in 2-3 years time. Don't trust Green fully either but he's the only show in town..

Nobody had likely heard of the businesses he went in and ended. How he thought he could get away with it at Rangers is mental, he needs put in a mental ward. He must still be sniffing about with Green in some capacity

Craig Whyte spoke a very good game when he first came in but I started having my doubts about him when we were failing to get the likes of Craig Conway as a free agent and even the Goodwillie transfer debacle. Murray must have plenty of people in the business world that knew about Whyte's background of winding up companies. Think of the amount of stuff people were finding about Whyte on the internet when he was outed. Murray and Whyte will never be forgiven but there has to be more people. Duff and Duffer was surely a massive fraud involving Collyer and Bristow. Unreal we were knocking back transfer fee's for the likes of Naismith in Feb - who does that in administration? My brain has been frazzled since well before Feb. I don't know what to believe anymore but nothing will surprise me now, absolutely nothing.

I don't think we will ever know 2bh. I have spoke to a few people who are adamant that Whyte was placed in there by Ellis.

I can assure you I am not. I would suggest anyone posting about Lawwell in a topic would be more likely to be a tim. Some of our support need to get a realisation for the real world. The abuse some of our players got for leaving was awful. What player with any ambition wants to take a pay cut, play in 4th tier of scottish football, no European football for years? People would rather look after number one than care for loyalty. If we ever get this SFA license granted we should be able to rely on our youth up to Division One. Clean slate, debt free, no one man in charge and we will be back providing we are well run. Nothing is going to change the position we are in now so as soon as we kick off against Peterhead the better cause fans are arguing with each other everywhere, no wonder after the 5-6 months we've had.

Why the fuck would our bitter rivals help us you clown? Would we help them? Dear god you are thick.

Just cause I don't buy into the pish you have spouted I am a tim? Over 1000 people have viewed your post, telling me I am the only one who thinks you're wired to the moon? Remember their conspiracy theories about refs cheating them but this only happened when they got defeat? They were a laughing stock in believing they could not possibly lose a match fairly. This conspiracy you have posted is equally laughable. Yes, it is shite the extent of punishment the inept, lying bastards at Hampden are now trying to impose on us but to apportion this back to Fat Pete? Take it he drew up the EBT's too? I'm as angry at current events at our club as much as the next bear but we are paying the price for total gross mismanagement by 'Rangers Men' from the previous regime, NOBODY or NOTHING ELSE.

Assuming we lose Wallace, Broaders and Bedoya, the tarriers would be about 1/10. They would destroy us. Hope we do get chucked out Scottish Cup, Willy Hills would walk away, how commercially valuable is a Scottish Cup with no Gers?

I think some of our supporters have a cheek to call Timothy the tin foil hat brigade. This post is pure delusion. Celtic had nothing to do with us going into admin or getting liquidated. The blame game was purely within Ibrox corridors. It still pains me that so few men could cripple such a great institution.

I had a chuckle at this. Should we tell him? Wallace is a certainty to go. Prry, Clubfoot and Bedoya too. Its brutal but DV3 teams are part time, surely our younger pro's can rise to this, especially with us supporting them at home.

If we play like we did tonight combined with a mixture of our bus parking en-route to Manchester.... I think we can go far in The Ramsdens Cup. Cannot wait for Ibrox and game v East Stirling. I doubt they have played in front of 5,000 fans let alone 50,000 bears absolutely choking to see our team run out at Ibrox. Biggest home crowd on a Saturday coming from Scottish 3rd Division!

Your heart is in the right place but that is plain bonkers. Unfair to ask far afield fans to travel to Glasgow 4 times a season.

Spot on mate.

I'm sure Spartans Tweeted they would not be challenging the decision should we get put into 3rd Division. Why would they? Procedures are in place for us to get put into 3rd Division. Losing party pays and all that....Doubt they have enough money to throw away in a frivilous case, unless Regan pays for it of course. Still think we'll end back up in the SPL before the season starts, hope to fuck I am wrong though.
