Finally go into Administration today ... sad times indeed, appeal is lodged but a point deduction looms

I'm not too up on the business side of football, but does this mean that without serious financial input the club could fold altogether?
WHAT AS HAPPEND TO SUCH A GREAT CLUB WITH MASSIVE CROWD.
Go bust, then reenter as a new club Glasgow Rangers AFC and buy Ibrox for pennies ,go into the bottom tier of Englands football pyramid, ten years time with concencutive promotions, Rangers are almost in the EPL, make sense.
I think that may have been Whytes plan all along ... ???
10 seasons in Englands lower leagues, or forever in the SPL, I know wich I prefer ...
if a club like Rangers...with only one other serious competitor in its "market" cannot pay its way then somewhere along the line there must have been financial mismanagement on a biblical scale.!!!!
Best thing to happen to the west of scotland for centuries imo 
Now come on Rab67 let's be fair minded about this unfortunate situation that Rangers find themselves in. I call upon all fair minded Celtic fans to raise a collection for their unfortunate brothers in blue. Let all us bhoys take a hat round our local pubs in Glasgow to help save Super Ally from the dole queue.
will the administrators pick the team then? maybe do a bit better of they do ... 
im a chelsea fan but rangers my 2nd team what is going on there?
Rangers on the brink, Thatcher on her last legs, Paisley been rushed to hospital with a suspected heart attack.
The treble is on

Sad day for football,north of the border - it now becomes a one team league.....Obviously,as winners of a European Cup,Celtic will always be more world renowned than Rangers but they`ve done their own bit for football up there....Who the hell was running this club?!?!?!
What about the quadruple when the murdoch press are tossed in too. The only unfortunate thing about this whole sorry episode is that Sir David Murray evades the gallows,just like the Captain of the Costa Concordia he abandoned ship before it sank.
He is solely responsible for this...when he said "When Celtic spend a fiver we'll spend a tenner" except that every single one of those tenners will be tax-free and now the chickens are comin home to roost. We will never know how many league titles would have been surrendered if he had played on the right side of the law, and maybe the historic 9-in-a-row would never have materialized. After all the majority of them were won with players like Gazza, Laudrup ,Butcher and er Flo.

Interesting to hear opinions of other Rangers` fans - Are there any about?
I was brought up a Rangers fan .... am actually glad with whats going on, the club has just become an absolute nightmare, and the 5 stars thing on the shirts, that was the end for me, disgrace.
wat does 5 stars mean schalke? we have 1 star cs we wer european champs 1967 wat on earth have thhey 5 for?
when they won the league for the 50th time ... I have never bought a single item from Rangers since they started the stars, any stars on any team shirt is ridiculous IMO !!! hate them
It`s a crying shame that it`s got that way because of fans like you,Schalke......The earlier poster correct in saying that this Murray guy must shoulder a lot of the blame?
I'm a Schalke 04 fan, and have been for the last 14 years ... My days of going to Rangers games are gone, Rangers are a joke with the way it's been run, the merchandise is terrible, lots of the fans are a nightmare, Scottish Football is terrible ... scottish football drove me out, not the other way about
Rebirth of Scottish Football / its no coincidence the national team has been cr@p since Sir Murray
flooded the game with average foreign players ...the odd decent one/ our game suffered

Yup, Rangers should have scottish players, so should most of the teams ... I will never go back to Ibrox until they start being a football club again and get rid of those ridiculous 5 stars
As far as i'm aware the star thing indicates ten league titles for each star. But to say that that has been the most insidious thing happening at ibrox for decades is to skirt many issues i.e. the sectarian chanting,the links with the BNP, THE DODGY FINANCIAL SITUATION and the discomforting cosy relationship they've had with the Scottish sports writers for . Stars on a shirt...come on.
Everything has made me desert Rangers, but the stars on the shirts made me stop buying things from them, I hate it and it looks terrible ...
Not to mention their refusal to allow players who were Roman Catholic to play for them!!! Good God,if that had been allowed to continue imagine,in the current racist situation,there`d be calls for them to be disbanded!
As a Rangers fan I absolutley loved MO JOHNSTON when he signed, Rangers as I grew up were awesome ... now, I wouldn't wear a shirt if you paid me
Schalke 04 unlike you us mere mortal fans will never desert the club we love.
No matter what happens WE WILL FOLLOW ON.

All i know for certain in this murky affair is that Sir David Murray should be called to account for his actions.
How can it be lawful for a man to run an institution into the ground then when there is nothing but debt left sell the liabilities for a pound and not be subject to accountability.
Also the so-called free press have enacted an omerta as far as these revelations are concerned and to conclude if you want to know the latest news and updates on this case the red tops in Scotland will not be forthcoming.rangerstaxcase.com will.

ALLAN MCGREGOR TO MAN U ON A FREE: CONTRACT IS NOW MEANINGLESS.
celtic need rangers and rangers need celtic, if which is a big if rangers went bust scottish football is dead so celtic fans should not wish rangers to go bust
dead right doc.
they both need each other, and scottish football need them both to be reasonably healthy or their league will be a bigger farce than it is now.
but i'm sure if you ask any celtic fan the'yd tell you how dekighted they'd be to go to an old firm clash and have a mock whip round for the opposition.

Bhoys, they were in bother too, like most League of Ireland sides
had big plans to move to a fancy new stadium in the suburbs, a total non-runner now

portadown 2.4 later in setanta cup seemed quite short away wat u think?
yeah, i dont follow the northern league though. They tend to do quite well when they play the southern sides in this comp.
looks like they are being heavily backed

im from north but dont follow much of it but ino the sourthern league is a better standard just not to sure nout bohemians
Maybe this is all part of the plan! Celtic now 1.04 to win the league because of Rangers impending points deduction. Maybe all Rangers staff, players and fans will lay the crap out of Celtic at that price and then announce they are not really going into administration. When the odds go back up they green out and have loads of money to spend on players! Just a thought...........................
No way will SKY renew the SPL deal,without those 4 games being meaningful.My club Crawley Town would finish 2nd to Celtic.
No sympathy for them whatsoever. They bought titles for over a decade with borrowed money they couldn't pay back, and now it's all coming home to roost. Going into Administration, 10 points deduction, etc is meaningless. Stripping them of the bought titles is the only fair course of action.
in the jail or hunting down the local womens refuges.
no it's good news now Celtic can join the Barclays Premier League
Brilliant news, now hopefully the other cheek will see their crowds dwindle, their budgets cut and Scottish footbal become a bit more competitive and a bit less full of 'Scots' who are obsessed with English/Irish history. Rangers and Celtic - 2 cheeks of the same @rse.
All this nonsense about Celtic needing Rangers - be serious.
Rangers have experienced lean times in the past when they struggled to come third in Scotland's top flight, as did Celtic for\much of the 90's. The league did not collapse.
Nature abhors a vacuum and if Rangers do disappear (please God), another club will step up to become the next dominant force. Remember Aberdeen under Alex Ferguson?

Had the same thought ... but unlikely to clear the HMRC debt through this route ;-)
Just for accuracy, for anyone considering punting on the SPL market, Rangers are not YET in Administration and have not YET been deducted 10 points.
Sometime within the next 10 days yes, but not yet.
