Can Scottish Football Survive

With Rangers being refused entry to this seasons SPL, have the other SPL member clubs signed their own and Scottish footballs death warrant.

Rangers bid to re-join the SPL was rejected by 10 other clubs, one abstained and the only vote Rangers received was the one they gave themselves.

This means that next week Rangers will have another round of voting to try and enter into either the Scottish 1^st or 3^rd divisions.

Which begs the question can Scottish football survive, interest in Scottish football revolves around Celtic vs. Rangers they play four times a year in the league and usually meet in the cup finals, without this fixture frankly very few people outside of Scotland care, and without interest and television revenue the SPL surely can’t continue for much longer.

How Rangers ended up in the financial situation they have is baffling in itself, why those in charge at the time let the debts spiral to uncontrollable levels and leave the club with no option but to call in the administrators is crazy, it’s comparable to driving straight into oncoming traffic it’s only going to end in a giant mess.

Rangers deserve to be punished no question but by rejecting their application to the SPL have the other SPL clubs been short sighted and unwittingly created a situation where Scottish football is doomed, only time will tell.
