The new SPFL board yesterday agreed that some sort of review should take place into the debacle which saw Rangers collapse into liquidation. While this is welcome as far as it goes, its scope will necessarily be bound by what the SPFL previously agreed to bind itself to. This was clear from the off, which I alluded to at the time.
If you contractually agree to limit your future actions for all purposes, you tie your own hands. This is where the SPFL are now and it is the reason we must look beyond them. The actions of those who tied their own hands are just as important as matters pertaining to the integrity of Scottish football’s competitions (the Scottish Cup and SFL League Cup, as well as the SPL).
The SPFL are not the only ones who are looking into this matter. They know to expect challenges during the course of the next two months.

Haha :)
Sorry mate, I wasn’t aware of that! I don’t spend as much time here as I used to, sadly.
I’ve done some venting of my own tonight, in private, including in an article I’m not even going to publish.
I can’t rise to the Socratic wonder of his debate style anyway, except with “If you think you’re hard enough come and have a go,” which doesn’t belong here or anywhere else.
It’s been a … rough day.
But I am optimistic about a VERY good performance tonight.
Get a room FFS

Tonight’s result is so important on more than just the football aspect.
—————————————————————————————————
After today’s developments, tonight’s result is a complete and utter irrelevance. Frankly, I can’t understand how anyone who values honesty and justice in sport can regard any game involving any club from Scotland worth worrying about. As for the idea that CFC will (yet again) stand back and expect fans to pay for a judicial review, well that is just sick in the head.
