Six clubs oppose Rangers entering Division 1

Six clubs have now opposed the compromise solution of the ‘newco’ Rangers being relegated to Division 1, Clyde being the latest.   Of course with Clyde having one of the larger stadiums in the third division, it could be argued that they have a financial interest in Rangers playing there.

Clyde argue that Rangers could get back to the Scottish Premier League on merit, but if they are placed in the bottom tier, it will take them at least three seasons to get back and probably even longer to be in contention for the title again.

If Rangers do go into the third division it is going to produce some crowd control problems.  Perhaps some of the clubs would have to switch their home games to larger grounds.
