Also Hibs in 1990 administration

Third Lanark 1967 extinct

Partick Thistle 1998 close to going bankrupt

Cowdenbeath 2010 close to going under

Hamilton 2002  financial hardships

Dundee United 2016 financial troubles

 

Isn't the story that Celtic were only hours away from bankruptcy?

Luncarty Juniors were a bit of a cult in the 1990s when they were utterly abysmal and got mentions in "The Absolute Game". 

I'm fairly sure they suffered the ignominy of conceding over 120 goals in a 26 game league season in the 90s 

ETA: 178 conceded in a 33 game season (league and cup) in 94/5 :lol:
