Day Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The Scottish Premier League and the Scottish Football League yesterday agreed in principle to a restructuring plan that would see the organisations merge in a 12-12-18 structure. If the new format was rubber-stamped for next season, Irn-Bru Third Division leaders Rangers would remain in the bottom tier of Scottish football regardless of any title success this term, albeit with the potential time frame for a return to the top-flight remaining the same. Green told RangersTV: "I haven't read anything other than what is in the press and if that is what we have sat here eagerly awaiting to transform Scottish football, my advice to the board of Rangers is the quicker we can leave Scottish football the better. "I can't see anything that is going to transform the finances, the status or the excitement." The SPL needs an 11-1 majority among its clubs but the idea has already been informally approved by all 12. The SFL needs 22 of its clubs to back the plans, with a 16-10-16 plan previously being agreed unanimously by the 30 clubs. Rangers, as associate members of the SFL, will not have a vote on the issue and yesterday expressed their unhappiness at not being invited to participate in the talks. The article on the club's website, written by new director of communications James Traynor, also described the reconstruction plans as an "abomination". According to Green, the remainder of Rangers' season will be rendered meaningless if the proposals are accepted. He said: "If this does happen what is the point of us finishing the season? "Why should we send players out to get broken noses - like Ross Perry last week - or have players getting surgery when no-one can get promoted and no-one can get relegated. "We might as well have a winter break now 'til next August. "I can't see any point in carrying on with meaningless matches. "In what league do you win a division and then end up playing the same teams again the following season? "There is no meaning to it, in reality."

AndyinLiverpool Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Not ever. A vile, hate-filled club with a sense of entitlement unbecoming of their position in the world. And they still owe us all a small fortune in unpaid taxes. They can feck right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think they ought to let them play in England, like Swansea and Cardiff. Fairs fair, There fans are no worse than the rest of the big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I mean, they'd have to give up there conquests in Europe, as they won't get in again, but Rangers have anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Nope. Nobody down here cares about Scottish Football, much the same as nobody cares about the Welsh or Irish Football leagues. If they want to move, let them join the Icelandic league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You, sir, have never been to Corby! Rangers and Celtic are only out-supported by Arsenal, United and Liverpool. I have no desire to go to Corby. If they like Scottish Football there it sounds rather dull.

'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> Corby is many things, dull it isn't! But back to your actualy point, in a country of 60 million, Rangers and Celtic are only beaten by a handful of clubs for size. If they were in our league, we'd certainly know even more about them. It's a freak of history that the United Kingdom doesn't have a league. Wish it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
networker1884 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Maniacs, the lot of em'. Also Swansea and Cardiff et al are in the middle of Britain, Celtic and Rangers are out of the way, north of the border where they belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Seriously? Yeah, scouters, manc's, toons. I remember Sheff united smashing up London Road only about 7 years ago, and they weren't even playing Derby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I take your point and was of course joking about Corby. The danger with a UK League is that it opens the floodgates for Sepp's European League which will make football even more the domain of the elite few.
