Like Aldershot Town is considered the same as Aldershot FC which went bust in 1992 and still plays at the same ground but the prize money from last season is not 'new' Rangers money as that cash should go to the creditors of the old club that went bust.

Starting again in England in the lowest league would be a dream come true. For me anyway. Scottish football is finished imo. No TV money to attract the top players.

As for the independence thing, just madness. It won't get through in 2014 I wouldn't think. But it will never go away now. They'll keep trying.

That's a reasonable point R. I don't know what is planned for the money that's withheld by the SPL.

I'd like to see Rangers start in League 2 as it would give a boost to the teams there and help them out with their finances. Couldn't do it this coming season but in the future ?

Me too, Rangers apparently looked into buying Burys registration but the Bury board didn't want to kill their team and have it move to Glasgow. Maybe another struggling teams board might do in the future. It's an unlikely option though at the moment.

Sorry Gaz, as much as I hate to see this happen to teams, Pompey too, I don't think Rangers should be allowed to move to the English Leagues, and I think Swansea and Cardiff should be kicked out too fwiw...... (hides from Gonzo)

Is Maine Road still vacant? Rangers would be an improvement there....
