Why would anyone wait 2 hours on a train at Mount Florida? You could WALK to Queen Street in that time!
Not to mention one of the busiest bus routes in Glasgow is through Shawlands, a mere 10 minute walk away.

May be something strange going on with Rangers. Posters on Pie and Bovril forum have pointed to it. Rangers name removed from Div 3 site, Dundee name removed from SPL site.

Also speculation on Rangers forum that the club could be about to be restoted to the SPL:

And I wonder if it all has anything to do with Giovanni di Stefano's letter to the football authorities overnight threatening an injunction.

The plot thickens.

Dundee haven't been listed on the SPL website, nor were Rangers on the SFL website.

Indeed, Dundee are now mentioned in the SPL fixtures (alongside "Club 12" - presumably there's no "delete fixture" option in the SPL's systems).

Apparently new Sky/Espn deal almost sorted, 65 games a season including SFL3 games involving SevCo for the current £16m a season. no word on whether it's just a one year deal.

Sky will show Celtic v Aberdeen and Peterhead v SevCo on the opening weekend.

Not quite the armageddon predicted if true.

Definitely scarey stuff

Seen this in the Daily Record today. If you read through the story changes as it goes. I hate The Record with a passion

http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/...roval.18258382

As earlier post said those of us who have virgin with sky sports and espn should be largely uneffected although bbc gossip had a story that bt vision were coming in at the last moment.

Is the Sevco game being brought forward a week? There was talk of it being moved to the Sunday as Aberdeen are at home to Ross County when Sevco were meant to be playing Peterhead.

Apparently the other 499 are all fanatical Celtic 'Top Brass' as well. Why the Record left this out smacks of the anti-Rangers bias they always come out with

Latest web rumours - Rangers apparently 'caved in at 4.30pm' yesterday. All sanctions will be imposed and they will proceed with all fixtures as schedueled.

Another true story

Seems this is the only non Olympic front page and it's not even a new story nor is it accurate.

SevCo to be granted temporary membership if they accept SFA conditions of football debt repayment and signing ban from Sept 1.

They will then have until Aug 3rd to agree to SPL share transfer and gain full SFA membership.

SevCo can sign players under temporary membership but it will be down to the SFL as to whether those players will be allowed to play on Sunday.

another cop out ..... one of MANY OPTIONS they can do though!

And the farce goes on and on and on and on ...

That's a ridiculous proposal. I think Rangers should say no, full membership or say no and go down the legal route

Yes, why not go done the legal route? A FIFA/UEFA ban for all Scottish football is a small price to pay to make sure that The Rangers get what they want.

What legal route is that? There is no legal way of stopping the SPL from investigating the dual contracts and stripping titles if need be.

IMO if there is no full membership then Brechin should receive a bye into the next round.

One thing is certain with the temporary membership, the team that plays on Sunday will be founded in 2012 and will have no trophies or titles.

and i'm UNNOFICIALLY calling it (depending on tomorrow, but surely far too late by then)

THE RANGERS ARE DONE!!!

no license
no play

see you tomorrow as i'm off to watch the opening ceremony

Rangers' first Division 3 fixture is not until August 11. I would have thought Green could carry on talking until then.

Their 'traditional route'?

I've no idea what is going on, in case you didn't realise

SFL3 has an opening ceremony?

Impressive ... is it on Sky?

Joint Statement just released - must be some big event going on elsewhere for it to be released at 9pm:

Joint statement on behalf of The Scottish FA, The Scottish Premier League, The Scottish Football League and Sevco Scotland Ltd.

We are pleased to confirm that agreement has been reached on all outstanding points relating to the transfer of the Scottish FA membership between Rangers FC (In Administration), and Sevco Scotland Ltd, who will be the new owners of The Rangers Football Club.

A conditional membership will be issued to Sevco Scotland Ltd today, allowing Sunday’s Ramsdens Cup tie against Brechin City to go ahead.

Following the completion of all legal documentation, the Scottish Premier League will conduct the formal transfer of the league share between RFC (IA) and Dundee FC on no later than Friday 3rd August 2012. At this point, the transfer of Scottish FA membership will be complete.

Key points:
- The Scottish FA has received all necessary information and documentation from Sevco Scotland Ltd, including details of the company structure, shareholders, financial projections and business plan.
- Sevco Scotland Ltd has agreed to accept all conditions relating to RFC (IA)'s charges of bringing the game into disrepute, namely the 12-month transfer embargo, beginning at 0.01a.m on 1st September 2012, and payment of all outstanding fines and costs.
- Sevco Scotland Ltd has agreed to settle all outstanding football debts to other members of the Scottish FA plus clubs under the jurisdiction of other Football Associations.
- The Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League have reached agreement on the purchase of a package of broadcasting rights which will allow the former to include The Rangers FC matches in contracts with broadcast partners.
- The Scottish Premier League has reserved its position in relation to the on-going investigation into EBTs.

Stewart Regan, Chief Executive of the Scottish FA: “We are pleased for everyone involved in this process, and indeed the whole of Scottish football, that a conclusion has been reached.

“There were a number of complex and challenging issues involved but, primarily, the Scottish FA had to be satisfied that the new owners of Rangers would operate in the best interests of the club, its fans and Scottish football in general.

“We have reached agreement on all terms and conditions attached to the transfer of membership and are able to grant conditional membership, ahead of the formal transfer of the SPL share a week today. This will allow the season to kick-off as planned this weekend and I am sure there will be many who will join me in welcoming the start of the new football season in Scotland.

“This has been a difficult period for Scottish football, but with this agreement now in place, and with the new season upon us, it is essential that we all focus our energies on football once again. In the months ahead, the Scottish FA will resume discussions on the subject of league reconstruction. We remain committed to this process in order to re-energise the national game and will work closely with the SPL, SFL and all other relevant affiliated bodies to provide a dynamic product appealing to our supporters."
Charles Green, Chief Executive of The Rangers Football Club, said “The agreement signed today allows Rangers to be granted membership by the SFA and finally enables the Club to move forward.

“The Board, the Manager and senior executives have been working tirelessly over the last few weeks to secure the future of the Club and today is the start of that process.

“The Board has had to take some very difficult decisions to gain SFA membership, including accepting the delayed transfer ban and paying outstanding financial penalties. But we are now able to get back to playing football and plan for the new season, starting this Sunday with our match against Brechin.

“There remains, however, an outstanding issue with the SPL regarding EBTs. As we have proved in the last couple of months we will stand up to any challenges that face Rangers and will continue to fight for the Club’s best interests.”

Neil Doncaster, Chief Executive of the SPL: "We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the parties concerned. Discussions will now continue with our broadcast partners and we expect to be in a position to make a further announcement next week on broadcasting rights and the on-going EBT investigation."

Jim Ballantyne, President of the SFL: "Current events have thrown up some serious challenges to Scottish football and the SFL has played its part in trying to navigate through to a solution in difficult circumstances.

“I am now looking forward to doing what we are actually here to do. To play football."

They couldn't have made the attempt to bury that more obvious...

Alistair McCoist says he is in despair at the lack of leadership and accuses the SPL of having an hostile agenda against The Rangers FC has they will be now known.

The boy Murray says The Rangers are about to enter their next chapter which has the potential to be one of the greatest sporting stories ever.
