Rangers will be in Division Three

After being unanimously rejected entry into the SPL, Rangers newco will begin next season at the bottom of the Scottish football league pyramid in division three.
Having already lost nine of their first 11 team from last year how many more will be clearing out their locker at Ibrox before the new season kicks off.
Another question that has to be asked is can Scottish football survive with Rangers being out of the top tier for at least three years, now there will be no Rangers-Celtic games for a while, will the SFA have to deliberately fix the cup ties so they play each other just to keep interest and revenue coming in.
Until the debacle at Rangers this year the SPL was a two team championship, the last team to win the title outside of Rangers and Celtic was the Alex Ferguson led Aberdeen in 1985.
So with no Rangers next season, Celtic are guaranteed another three titles, the only problem is can Scottish football survive that long.
