Aberdeen legend Miller wants Rangers fully punished | Scottish Football News | Tribal Football

Aberdeen legend Willie Miller has called on Scottish football to throw Rangers into the Third Division, reports the Daily Mail.

Aberdeen legend Willie Miller has called on Scottish football to throw Rangers into the Third Division, reports the Daily Mail.

SFL clubs will meet at Hampden today to discuss divisive proposals drawn up by the SFA, SPL and SFL to restructure the game and parachute newco Rangers into the First Division.

“Rangers should be punished for the mistakes they made,’ he said. “Fans of other clubs have made their views clear and most seem to want them to start life again in the Third Division. Going to the bottom rung of the SFL would help Rangers clean up their past errors.

“There has been talk of trying to find a way where a Rangers newco will be in the First Division. But clubs must listen to what their fans want to happen to Rangers. If the game suffers financially, so be it.”

The 24 year old signed for Swiss side FC Sion on Saturday after being one of 10 players who objected to the transfer of their contracts from Rangers to the newco club.

“It’s a new challenge,” he told Sky Sports News.

“Everyone is thinking that the fall-out I had with the manager had a big say but me and the manager spoke and we are friends again and I’d love to play under him again.

“He has had a tough year and you have to feel sorry for him. He is a great manager and is one of the lads really – he will be there and get the lads fired up for the challenge of whatever league they are in.”

Owner in dramatic last minute bid to keep Rangers in SPL | Scottish Football News | Tribal Football

Rangers owner Charles Green has hatched a last-ditch plan to keep the crisis-torn club in the Scottish Premier League, reports the Scottish Sun.

Rangers owner Charles Green has hatched a last-ditch plan to keep the crisis-torn club in the Scottish Premier League, reports the Scottish Sun.

The Gers chief Green has held emergency talks with other top-flight chairmen not to vote on Wednesday in favour of dropping Rangers into Division One and offered a six-point plan for to remain in the SPL.

Back SPL voting reform and slash the Old Firm’s influence;

Agree a fairer split of revenue and cut payments to the Old Firm;

Accept the transfer embargo given by the SFA appeals body;

Pay all Gers’ football debts at home and abroad;

Take a points deduction for at least one, possibly more seasons;

Issue a public apology for Gers’ past wrongdoing.

They seemed destined for Division One until a backlash from angry SFL clubs who want them in Division Three.

But such a scenario would suck £16million out of the game, wreck key broadcast and commercial deals and put even more clubs in financial peril.

Green said: “What league will we be in? I couldn’t tell you.

“There are lots of meetings to be had. My team and my board will meet the SPL chairmen on Wednesday.

“The financial positions are very clear and without Rangers playing somewhere, it will affect Scottish football as a whole.”

The Sun says he almost signed for QPR in January but his application for a UK work permit was rejected.
