At present your whole statement . "IF" the leagues are reconstructed , coupled with "have " already been moved. One depicts what might happen yet in the same sentence it already has. Its not all about Rangers . If it went 12,12,18 what play off position does the 2nd, 3rd,and 4th in your division play for ? I personally would promote you The Rangers to the Premier League in time for next season . Watch you get humped every 2nd or 3rd game by the bigger teams. Watch the Sports Direct Stadium attract 25,000 crowds . Watch your club/ company go bust again . Then watch you go cap in hand for entry into the lowest league again. If Carlsberg did reconstructions............

No problem . At the beginning of 1993/94 there were 3 leagues 12,12,14 Premier ,first and second . Reconstruction meant four leagues of 10,10,10,10 Premier,first,second and third. So basically if you look at Stranraer being on rung 25 of the 38 clubs they were then promoted to top 20 . A jump of 5 positions. Rangers are at present 33 on the ladder of 42 clubs . If reconstruction went to 12,12,18 and promotion was granted to Rangers they would move into top 24 .A jump of 9 positions . However as I stated all the clubs in 93/94 knew what they were playing for at the begining of that season . I'm all for reconstruction BUT not when you move the goalposts during the season .

There has been a precedent involving Stranraer when after winning Divsion 2 in 1993/94 we were promoted to Division 1 for season 1994/95. Relegations followed for St. Johstone, Raith and Dundee from the Premier Division.....Dumbarton, Clyde, Stirling, Morton and Brechin from the 1st Division...etc etc . The point is all the clubs playing for promotion / relegation places knew at the begining of the season what they were playing for, NOT with 8/9 games left. So if you use the Stranraer precedent have league reconstruction from 2014/15. If its to be rushed through for the beginning of next season then the SPL/SFL should have a parachute payment available to the club or clubs that may miss out on having Rangers visit at least once next season ( based on whether they would have been scheduled to play them if all things stood as they were at this seasons start.) Scottish clubs should not pander to any one club , they rules were there at the begining of the season . Sporting integrity and all that !!

Can someone explain one small point of EMPLOYEE benefit trusts. So lets assume they were 'loans' to employees. What was Souness £30,000 for ten years after leaving the EMPLOYMENT of Rangers. If they have been decreed as loans for the meantime ........I would imagine the liquidators could recall the £47 m loans and pay of all the creditors. Including the £250,000 fine. Then we can watch the HMRC win their appeal and bust Rangers all over again. They think its all over ............
