Rangers appeal. RT @carasulieman: #rangers have won - the decision has been referred back to appeal tribunal.

Superb, initial twitter rumours were false, so Rangers win their case, let battle commence!
 
Rangers awarded costs, SFA embargo dropped but SPL one still in place until they come out of administration. The SFA appeal panel to rule again using sanctions available.

It would be good to see the SFA stand up and do the honourable thing, expel Rangers and then fire Regan, yes, that would be good to see.

They'd only get expelled from Scottish cup competition wouldn't they? They've also prejudiced this rulling by saying they thought it'd be too harsh given the clubs circumstances.

Despite already stating such a punishment was "too harsh"? While at the same time signing Scottish football's death warrant?

Aye, I am sure expulsion will be something they consider! :rolleyes:

Spot on. Should be ban from cup competition as they already ruled expulsion out.

Bur Rangers are hurting Scottish football more by basically saying you can cheat, in almost any way possible and then complain about the punishment till it goes away.

Scottish football will fall apart if Rangers can get away with this nonsense...

Cheat?

The punishment has been found to be illegal. Are the club meant to accept that?

There has never been confirmation by sky that the deal would be ripped up or re-negotiated, scaremongering by Rangers friendly media Im afraid old chap.

£100k? Really?

How many fans do Rangers take to St. Mirren? Say 6000? At £30 a pop that is around £180,000... for 1 trip. That also doesn't take into account food and drink etc bought inside the stadium. Now you might have to double that as we could play you twice at St. Mirren Park - so upwards of £300,000.

Do you think Sky and the others sponsors are going to plough the same kind of investment into a product which has just lost around 40% of its potential audience?

6000! Lol, this is really just what Rangers fans have no idea about, we lose some of the home gate due to people not wanting to mix with the old firm, but the net result is roughly about an extra 1500-2500 fans depending on when its played.

Its a figure of no consequence, and with food and drink its less than 100k when we play you once, its £25 as we dont directly profit from the food vendors, they just have a contract to supply food on premises. If we were being generous though, say 150k from two visits.

Maybe 15 years ago, Rangers would take to St Mirren but these days are long gone, as is need for Rangers and Celtic when they dont keep clubs alive anymore.
 
FIFA has warned the Scottish Football Association it must take action after Rangers' use of the law courts to challenge a registration embargo.

The Scottish Premier League side won a case at the Court of Session on Tuesday, with a judge ruling the Scottish FA had no power to impose a signing ban on the club for bringing the game into disrepute.

A statement from FIFA read: "At the time of writing we have not received any communication from the Scottish FA.

"In such a case, FIFA will ask the Member Association to take action so that the club withdraws its request from the ordinary courts.

"As a general rule, in case a club is seeking redress in front of ordinary court, as mentioned above the Member Association shall take direct action in order to safeguard the principle laid down in art. 64 par. 2 of FIFA Statutes, which shall be, in view of art. 64 par. 3 incorporated in the Member Associations’ Statutes.

"FIFA will closely monitor the situation so that the issue is resolved as fast as possible."

Rangers' case will now be referred back to the original appeal tribunal, which has been ordered to operate within the framework which exists.

Rule 66 allows for a maximum fine of £100,000 to be imposed, as well as ejection from the Scottish Cup, a suspension, expulsion from participation in the game and/or termination of SFA membership.

Ok gents, can we drop the bickering about which clubs people support as well as matters tangenital to the basic issue. It's a discussion about Rangers and their current status in administration rather than about anything and everything to do with them.

This thread is for the discussion of the economics of Rangers including the impact of the big tax case plus the impact on the SPL and the wider game in Scotland. It's not for people to take a pop at other people and who they support and it's not for discussion of sectarian issues in football.

What makes this guy immune from the thread rules? It is constant throughout the thread.
 
4.22.6 all consents or other requirements of the SPL and SFA having been obtained or
complied with so that Rangers Football Club can continue to participate in such
domestic leagues and competitions as it currently participates in.

One of the CVA conditions is that Rangers can play in the league and cup so if expelled from Scottish cup its bye bye Green & co.
 
Surely it's up to the SFA to now contact FIFA about this result? They argued the case should be heard in the CAS and failed so would this run the risk of opening the FC Sion saga again?

If not then the only thing I can see them do is to expel the club from the cup(s) for a season or two and maximum fine.
