BTW Mr Reagan, John Reid is not a role model for the head of the SFA.
"According to George Galloway, Reid is an accomplished singer and guitar player and "taught a whole generation of Labour activists, including yours truly, the entire I.R,A, songbook".

Dundee United are as much a member club as Rangers and United are the club who are owed money by another club. United are the club who may have to sacrifice player contracts and signings through no fault of their own. So should it be right that the club who will not pay them what they are owed, should be able to sign players without paying anything to United? When you tell me how that is justice, then we can start discussing who the real victims are.

Henrik - um sure united will be payed. Why didn't the make it an embargo which runs until they pay off other scots teams in that case?

Ibrox Elite, completely agree.
I think this will be the reduced punishment once the appeal is heard.
My point is hypothetical obviously, but let's say some multi-billionaire came in bought Rangers liquidated them and then decided to spend £30million in the summer, whilst Dundee United are still waiting on the £100,000 or whatever it is that could decide whether they set their budget on a top six finish or avoiding relegation.

I don't think the SFA can apply that sanction on Rangers. Administration is a legal process, the SFA may feel they can change the rules as they see fit to hammer Rangers, they can't change the rules to change administration law.

Portsmouth were handed the same sanction because of there footballing debts. The punishment is a bit harsh, but it is legally standing.

then Henk
Perhaps a no fee transfer should be OK.
Its also worth noting that Rangers have spent over 30 million on players from SPL clubs in the last 15 years.

Duke, how many of these transfers have been on a buy now pay later scheme, then erm forget to pay

Gow - I would hazard a guess at one, lee Wallace. Tho there's different stories on even that one whether rangers should have made another payment yet
