These jokers have basically sweet FA to do as it is due to the Scot Parly handling everything bar foreign relations,defence,DWP so they find time in their none too hectic schedule to set up a Westminster inquiry into football.
If there is not enough for the 50 jokers to entertain themselves at our expense then time there was another cull this time down to just 25 parasites.

Why are they even bothering as the football scene up here has been dire since the 70's

Have they actually got a full team?
I agree and it should be a matter for the relevant footy authorities to sort not a bunch of clueless MP's.
A few have said they are not transferring.
I heard that Dunfermline was moving up to replace Rangers.
I thought it was going to be Dundee F.C..
I heard the same about both teams, suffice to say its Glasgow Labour MP's who are pushing for the inquiry because they tried and failed to put pressure on the SPL to keep Rangers in the SPL.
Nah, its been dire ever since Alex Ferguson left Aberdeen for Man Utd in 1986.
Since then its been all about the "old firm" and the game has slowly died on its arse.
Best thing that could happen is Rangers in Division 3 and a more open and competitive premier league. Quite aside from anything else Rangers fans are a cancer on Scottish society and its long past time they made to eat some humble pie. I won't hold my breath like.
There's nothing like a well balanced viewpoint.................and that is NOTHING like a well balanced viewpoint!! :rolleyes:
Firstly, Rangers no longer exist shortly when they enter liquidation. Some of the assets were sold to Sevco 5088 Limited and Sevco Scotland Limited. As it stands they're not a football club, let alone a member of a football league. So they can't be "dropped". As a precedent, Darlington were recently liquidated in England. Their newco, Darlington 1883 was only accepted by the ninth tier (4 divisions below the place held by the original Darlington FC).
Secondly, Rangers FC plc (in administration) brought the game into disrepute last season as a result of complete breakdown of corporate governance at the club. By entering administration, they screwed over several football clubs. They failed to pay the full £1million transfer fee to Rapid Vienna for Jelavic yet sold him onto Everton for £5 million and kept the proceeds. They were sanction for this through £160,000 fines and a transfer embargo. They further broke the rules by going to courts to try to overturn the transfer embargo.
Thirdly, RFC plc (iA) conducted deliberate wholesale tax evasion and fraud over a long period, depriving HMRC of £95 million in tax and penalties. That does not include the millions of more they failed to pay under Craig Whyte - because he was busy using it to fund the club.
Fourthly, they failed to declare these contractual EBT payments to the football authorities. As a result any player in this situation was improperly registered and thus ineligible to play. If a team fields a single ineligible player in a match then the match is awarded to their opponent as a 3-0 win. Due to the number of players, matches and seasons invovled, the old Rangers will face being stripped of titles.
Fifthly, Sevco 5088/Sevco Scotland do not meet the criteria to join the Scottish Football League, even SFL3. There are no guarantees that the club will be able to fulfil its fixtures next season.
And sixthly, although Sevoc 5088/Sevco Scotland have no history, they and their fans appear determined to adopt the previous violent, sectarian behaviour of Rangers FC plc (iA). Those associated with the club have sent death threats to officials and threatened to burn down the stadiums of other clubs.
Why would anyone want Sevco 5088/Sevco Scotland in Scottish football?
It wasn't meant to be. I don't think Rangers fans appreciate how much they are loathed by the rest of the country, though I suspect the penny is beginning to drop.:D
As for where Rangers should play, I read that 80 or 90 per cent of Rangers' own supporters says the club should start again in Division 3.
Indeed - if they have no real work to do perhaps they need to be 'outsourced'?
Because their have been suggestions that 6 SPL clubs would go into administration if Rangers went into the third division. Even if that isn't the case their is no doubt that Scottish football would lose a lot of money and their would be a disastrous effect.
Think you'll find that the vast majority of people who have the misfortune to reside anywhere in the vicinity of football grounds loath all football fans irrespective of their team.
I think you'll find that's just spin and bluster. Look at it this way. What would happen if Rangers had a shocking season and ended up in the relegation spot?:rolleyes:
Accept the fact they went bust and the only way out for them was/is to start again from the bottom.
Given the strength of feeling among the supporters clubs of the SPL teams I think the SFA would be taking a much bigger risk re-admitting Rangers to the SPL.
How do you know this will happen?
When Gretna went bust, they ended up back in the 3rd division. So if Rangers don't follow suit, it all smells a bit suspicious.
Looking at the details, Gretna were relegated in less than a month after they went into administration. Rangers' plight has been dragged out for five times as long, with still no resolution in sight. Money talks...
The pair of them are an absolute disgrace. Following the Sevco vote yesterday, there should've been a second vote - of no confidence in Doncaster.
And they find out about the league place the day after the Glorious Twelfth ... bad timing
