Ally mccoist has left rangers

[Guest Magic]

LOL. For now.

[The Fury 65]

Funny thing is he's on gardening leave meaning he will get his full 750k they don't have salary.

 

Madness

[Guest Magic]

Another manager isn't going to fix the problems. The mess at that club goes far beyond Ally Mccoist.

[The Fury 65]

The assistant mcdowell is taking charge until end of season with durrant I assume being assistant

 

I will crease my pants laughing if they miss out on promotion

[Guest Magic]

Well they're not going up automatically. And then it will come down to playing a top flight side in the play offs, who are battling for survival. Very real possibility that they could struggle and not go up.

 

Edit: Although what would be REALLY funny is if the Hibees find some form and they are outside of the top two. That really would be the icing on the jelly.

Correction. 2nd 3rd and 4th get playoff spots with second last team in premiership.

 

I fully expect hibs to take one. Rangers will likely take one unless they implode the only other two teams really I see in for the last spot are queen of the south and Falkirk

[Guest Magic]

Aw really, that's a shame. My dreams have been crushed then. As sh*t as they are, they'd have to do something pretty special to not get in the top four.

 

For some reason I had it in my head that it was just second vs the SPL side for the last promotion spot. But then I haven't paid proper attention to Scottish Football for about 10 years so I can forgive myself for not knowing how the ridiculously convoluted league structure works these days.

 

So essentially its probably gonna be a fatal four way between Rangers, Hibs, probably Queen of the South and either St Mirren/Ross County for the last spot. That'll be fun, I really hope Hibs come back up. There would be something beautiful in it for me if both the Edinburgh sides beat Rangers back into the top flight.

It's SPFL. It's weird - 4th in Championship plays 3rd, home and away. Winner of that, plays 2nd in Championship, home and away. Winner of that plays the Premier League club, home and away. So, your Premier League club essentially has 2 byes, and if you finish 3rd or 4th, to get up, you have to play 6 games!

 

Bless our mental league system, where that is allowed, and we have the mental top/bottom split...

Worked for Hamilton :lol

[GENE 86]

Also the SFA takes 50% of all gate receipts for the play off games, so effectively Hamilton made no money getting promoted and the SFA are hoping Rangers end up in the play offs so they can get almost £1 million, or so Bill Lexkie said in his column last week.

[The Fury 65]

Doesn't league 2 playoffs with Highland and lowland league come into effect this season too?

[GENE 86]

Yeah think so, teams with a bit of ambition like Spartans deserve a chance in the league.

[The Fury 65]

Mike Ashleys request for being allowed to extend his shares in rangers football club have been unanimously rejected by the sfa

[Guest Inno]
