So we will find out tomorrow if McKinnon was actually pushed out of Cappielow or if he is, in fact, a snakey cnut. Stay tuned, folks :)

Don't give a flying f**k how it went down, he's our manager now and can't wait to see how well he does with us when he gets his own players in. :thumsup2

Didn't realise the spfl could give an SFA member a transfer embargo. You learn something every day. 

To be clear I'm not saying it's going to happen, because like every other Morton and Falkirk fan I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen tomorrow, but yes, they can.

To be pedantic, I don't think they can. Only the SFA could refuse to register players for a member club. They could however presumably lay down their own sanctions about whether any newly registered players would be eligible to play in a League match though.

Never in a month of Sundays is there going to be a registrations ban over this though, even if Falkirk were found to have tapped him up.

Absolutely, it's at the points deduction end of the scale in terms of likely punishments in the event of Falkirk even being found guilty, ie it's obviously not going to happen. The SPFL rules do state though that a panel has the power to  "order that a Club concerned be debarred from Registering Players for such period as it thinks appropriate".  While it's not going to happen in this case, it is within their rules.

Though there's also a clause which basically says that they can make up whatever punishment they see fit which makes listing all the other ones a bit redundant :lol:
