It a bit like a company owning a horse that wins many races  , the company goes wrong , gets lquidated , the liquidator sells the assets - one of which is a horse - the horse has a new owner and people then saying the horse has no history ......it's so basic here lads

No no no, it is the horse who has died here, how many more races can it win now?

Or, as anyone else put it, if I change my name to Elvis Presley, buy one of his sparkly suits, and get a gig in Las Vegas, question for old rangers fans, is Elvis dead or alive?

... And they certainly weren't Crying in the Chapel.

still called Rangers .. check

still play in blue ..... check

still play at Ibrox ..... check

Celtic supporters cant stop obsessing over Rangers ..check

give me a shout if any of the following change

Rangers 144 years and still here

fear not you delusional knuckle graggers your saviour has arrived

now i see why you only post photos tambhoy , you illiterate fool

it's not an apostrophe

Skull all this shows is that FIFA would have been upset if new Rangers were let off.

Green had to bend over , grit his teeth and then say "ummm that was good" once the SFA had finished.
I can't understand why the administrators took the case to court.

When I was a boy I had a goldfish named Han Solo. He was the best goldfish a young lad could ever have.

But one day he just stopped moving and lay still at the top of his bowl. At first I refused to believe anything could have been wrong with Han Solo but at the end of the day I told my mum about it and she told me he was just sleeping and he would be okay tomorrow.

The next day I looked at the bowl and he looked the liveliest he'd been since I got him and he was even bigger and golder then he had ever looked. My friend said he didn't look the same but my mum and dad told me don't be stupid and I believed them.

As time went on no matter how much mum and dad told me nothing had changed and Han Solo still lived I knew deep down he was dead. I wasn't mad they lied, as I knew they just did it to protect my feelings.

agreed. clearly they shouldn't be allowed to sign anyone until they've paid the transfer fees owed to other clubs.

Looking forward to playing against an amateur team. Classic.

When was the first Rangers v Queens Park game?

When is the first Newco v Queens Park game?

I win the Euro millions
I buy Gracelands
I wear a white jumpsuit
I grow my sideburns
I drive around in a cadillac
I sing Jailhouse rock
BUT IM STILL NOT ELVIS.

I hope that makes it easier for the truth to be acknowledged.

My oh my, can they not let go?
Listen, old rangers are finished, finnnish, whatever, ok?
New sevco have been allowed into the 3rd division, why ? I have no idea.
Now, for new sevco fans, lol, when you ran up hundreds of millions of taxpayers debt, in the premier league, how are you going to manage in the 3rd division? (if you have a licence)

Exactly, you have got it, eventually, sigh.
A "new club", has been allowed to join div 3, (who knows why, ahead of spartans, cove, etc.?)
Anyway, the old rangers don't exist anymore, we are agreed on that.
So, their punishments can only be toward people in a financial sense, who ran the old rangers, this is nothing to do with any newco, sevco, football team, they are totally different entities.

Rangers: Signing ban not enough for SPL to approve newco

The new Rangers' participation in Scottish football next season is not certain despite accepting a 12-month transfer ban from the Scottish FA.

Sevco Scotland, which now owns Rangers' assets after the old club headed for liquidation, needs SFA membership.

But it must also reach agreement with the Scottish Premier League.

The SPL, which rejected the new club's application to stay in the top flight, wants further sanctions and a share of Rangers' Division Three media rights.
   
Administrator Duff and Phelps, which still controls the oldco Rangers, Sevco, the Scottish Football League, the SPL and SFA must all agree the package to allow the new Rangers to play in the coming season, starting on 28 July in the Ramsdens Cup away to Brechin City.

Sevco chief executive Charles Green had argued that a transfer ban would prevent the club competing as manager Ally McCoist has lost many of his players.

And, following a week of discussions, the SFA released a statement saying that Rangers had now accepted a transfer embargo, which would begin on 1 September and end on 31 August next year.

That would mean Rangers could make signings in the current transfer window but not in January or next summer, but Malcolm Murray, chairman of the new Rangers, stressed that no agreement had yet been signed.

"The choice is stark - take sanctions or risk not playing football at all," he said.

"We do not wish to gamble with the club's future. So, under duress, we have taken the difficult decision to accept some sanctions in order to move forward.

"A delayed transfer ban would be a bitter pill to swallow and will only be agreed to if the alternative is no football.

"We also regret that the any agreement with the SFA appears not to have the support of the SPL and, as such, it still wishes to impose further sanctions on the club for the actions of previous regimes despite already voting us out of its league.

"This is truly astounding to everyone at the club who is now in charge of rebuilding Rangers from Division Three, particularly as the SPL are still trying to benefit from our media rights."

Murray, though, appeared to suggest that accepting sanctions from the SPL for the use of controversial Employee Benefit Trusts to pay players may be necessary.

"Whilst we are deeply frustrated that the club and the new owners will have to accept some punishments for the sins of previous regimes, we are at the point where we have to move forward and get back playing football," he said.

"We will all continue to work hard over the coming days in order to begin the season and play our first match next Sunday."

The transfer ban and £160,000 fine had been imposed on Rangers by the SFA for bringing the game into disrepute, mainly over the club's failure to pay more than £13m in taxes last season.

Rangers administrator challenged the decision at the Court of Session and it was set aside by Lord Glennie, who referred it back to the SFA's appellate tribunal to reconsider.

However, the SFA announced that: "It has been agreed with Sevco Scotland Ltd that the registration embargo will be accepted as a primary condition of a transfer of membership.

"It is necessary to complete the judicial process following the determination by Lord Glennie in the Court of Session that required the independent appellate body to revisit available sanctions relating to oldco, having been found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute," said the SFA statement.

"Rather than convening the appellate tribunal to determine from the sanctions available to it, the company directors of Sevco Scotland Ltd have chosen to accept the 12-month registration embargo.

"Sevco Scotland Ltd have also undertaken to accept all other outstanding conditions relating to oldco's charges of bringing the game into disrepute.

"The conditional offer of transfer will now be submitted to the appellate tribunal for its consideration.

"Subject to the completion of all legal documentation, we anticipate transfer of membership next week.

"The imposition of conditions relating to transfer of membership was made on the basis that the Scottish FA, as the governing body, has an obligation to protect the integrity of the national game and to ensure that all member clubs operate within the articles of association."

The SFA announcement came on the day "The Rangers FC" were drawn at home to East Fife in the first round of the Scottish Communities League Cup.

oh, p.s. have newco got a licence to play football, anywhere, yet?

54 for a wee while anyway, not that it matters for old club fans, they are gone anyway.

torbett towers kept their history after changing to a newco ,but its always  the same wi the dhims ,one rule for them and another for everyone else .
