Although the ridiculous bias towards the Premiership team in the format means it'll probably be as you were, albeit with half a dozen extra games at the end of the season.
yeah it certainly favours the premiership team, not really proper play offs but hopefully we win the league and dont have to worry about them:D
The charities watchdog has strongly criticised trustees of the Rangers Charity Foundation after cash raised at a match went to the football club.
The fundraising game between Rangers Legends and AC Milan Glorie took place after the club entered administration.
A complaint was raised after it emerged that almost £200,000 went to the club rather than the charity.
The Scottish Charity Regulator has now ruled that the decision-making of the trustees "constituted misconduct".
However, it decided not to take action against any of the trustees.
The regulator's report states that the Rangers Charity Foundation had three trustees at the time of the game - all of whom were employed by or held senior positions at the club.
A fundraising dinner and the football match between Rangers Legends and AC Milan Glorie had already been scheduled for 29 and 30 March 2012 when the club entered administration on 14 February.
One of the trustees alerted the administrators, from Duff and Phelps, of the club's commitment to provide support for the event.
The report states that the trustee believed there was a risk that the administrators would not allow the game to go ahead if it was not in the interests of creditors.
The trustee agreed to assign control of the income from the charity match to the administrators to ensure that the club could recover costs.
Before this decision, the Rangers Charity Foundation had been due to receive 60% of the net profit from the game plus a management fee of £25,000.
As a result of the trustee assigning income control to the administrators, the charity only received 10% of the net profit - £38,286 - plus the management fee.
This meant that £191,430 of profit that had been due to go to the charity went to the administrators who were running club.
In its ruling, the charity regulator said: "The charity's decision-making process, which allowed important decisions to be made by one trustee acting alone, was in breach of trustees' duties and constituted misconduct on the part of the charity trustees as a whole."
The regulator said that since the charity was set up, there had been "an inherent conflict of interest" because of the trustees' connection to the club.
It also states: "In addition, the conflict of interest presented by the assignation was not managed appropriately and professional advice was not obtained as required by the charity's trust deed."
The regulator added: "Having looked carefully at the whole situation, [the regulator] has not found that the ongoing risks to charitable assets or to the reputation of the sector justify [the regulator] taking action against any of the trustees."
The regulator's report noted that one of the three trustees "did not respond to any of our requests for information".

Hating? Don't think so. Having an opinion? Yes. Other fans of other clubs comment on Rangers as well.

Didn't see much debating while hearts were going into, and still is in administration.
Everyone was strangely quiet....funny that.
seems only one clubs worth talking about.:D
Carry on.:)
Edit....
In fairness, even hearts aint talking about hearts going into administration, all the discussion is still about Rangers.
I popped over to their forum to see what was being planned by the fans, fundraising etc to help their club, only to find a 1000 page long thread about rangers is by a long long long LONG way the most viewed and commented in on the board.
The old claim of, "they hate our club more that they love their own" from rangers fans has never been so well demonstrated.;)

Meanwhile, in football news, the 2nd round of the League Cup:
Morton v Montrose
Stranraer v Ross County
Dundee v Forfar Athletic
Dumbarton v Dundee United
Kilmarnock v Hamilton Academical
Airdrieonians v Livingston
Partick Thistle v Cowdenbeath
Queen of the South v St. Mirren
Aberdeen v Alloa Athletic
Raith Rovers v Heart of Midlothian
Falkirk v Dunfermline Athletic
It means Forfar are visiting Dens twice in a week after we drew them in the Challenge Cup as well. Falkirk v Dunfermline should be interesting, and Stranraer v Ross County is the very definition of "oooft".

Thats incredible.

The gift that just keeps on giving!!!
Edit: Jim Traynor wants the media to leave before speaking to the small gathering of supporters - nor does he want to be recorded.
Gotta laugh of someone would champion the free press to go to such lengths.

Dignity hey
Meanwhile Jim McColl doesnt want to buy any more shares.
He's comedy gold. I wouldn't trust him with 50p of my money, let alone be Chief Exec of a football club.
I'm surprised one of Rangers' more psychotic element hasn't got to him yet.
