Whatever your allegiances or preferences, the plight of Rangers' fans is a sad one of late. Now it looks like getting worse.

It goes on to say that broadcasters don't want to pay for SPL games unless they get rangers games in the 3rd too. But Rangers and the SFL want to hold onto the rights.
Rangers cheated and should face the punishments they deserve. If they won trophies by cheating, they should be stripped of them. The rest appears to be greed on behalf of everyone, inc Rangers.
I kinda feel sorry for their fans, not the idiots who post sectarian crap on NOT or those who chant it at games, but the genuine honest fans. However, I cannot be totally sympathetic just as I wouldn't if Man Utd did the same.....

A stand-off over media rights and a possible stripping of titles threatens to scupper Rangers' hopes of Scottish Football Association membership.
There must be a five-way agreement between the SFA, SPL, Scottish Football League, old Rangers and new Rangers before any deal is ratified.
The SPL want an independent commission to rule on whether Rangers broke the rules during previous campaigns by paying players with so-called side contracts.
They are due to hand over their findings to that commission on 10 August.
But Rangers fear an independent commission could strip them of titles and believe they have already been sufficiently punished.
