The death of Scottish football?

With Glasgow Rangers FC about to go into administration within the next hour, the question people in scottish football should be asking is can scottish football survive without them.

My personal opinion is scottish football will struggle, even Glasgow Celtic will struggle depite wha tthere chairman says.

If rangers go bust which is very likely now it is pretty much garanteed the tv rights will have to be redone since the rights are depentent on rangers and celtic matches i dnt mean the old firm one thata serperate issue, so scottish football will be either without tv money or very little of what they get jsut now. most scottish teams depend on teh tv money so without it any that are in finical diffuculies are most liekly goign to go bust to liek hearts.

Now this begs a bigger question if this starts to happen quickly will there be a football teams to play in sotland season 2012/2013?

I think scottish footbal is now on the verge of it biggest shake up since it creation, the sply,sfl and sfa will have to completely redo scottish football leagues and enforce rules to make sure nothing liek this happens again

Thoughts?

Re: The death of Scottish football?

Scottish Football is already struggling badly. I think the end result of this will be the Old Firm being even weaker than it is at the moment.

Re: The death of Scottish football?

There was a time where Rangers and Celtic were saying they wanted to join the English leagues, so if that was ok then..why is it suddenly a death sentence to Scottish Football now?

Beware what you wish for...I only want a £1m from the lottery

I didn't fully appreciate the direness of the SPL until I attended a conference at Easter Road and made a point of wandering round the place until I found a window where I could look out onto the pitch.

The overall effect was comparable with Prenton Park (Tranmere Rovers, English League 1) where I used to go on Friday nights (we all really wanted to go to Anfield but it was too expensive and the wrong side of the river ).

Though to be fair..easter Road has always been a dire place

From what I've been told the SPL is barely Champions league.

Re: The death of Scottish football?

maybe they need to only pay what they can afford...perhaps it becomes part-time..or youth league
To be honest, not sure I would notice any drop in quality

Re: The death of Scottish football?

I don't think that Rangers will be last major team to be threatened with bankruptcy.. Even the English Premiere League is showing heavy losses.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...ces-black-hole

Re: The death of Scottish football?

Wages to players has become unsustainable...not sure what the %pay increases are, but they must be giving the bankers a good run

So for a few clubs to go to the wall means wages become a bit more realistic, I don't see that as a bad thing
