What should Scottish Football do?

As EVERYBODY is aware. Rangers Football Club is very close to liquidation. If forced to form a new company, many to be believed as The Rangers FC. Without going into details here is what I think will happen.

As a Sport Management student these stories fascinate me, maybe too much, to the extent that I have to apply my opinion on what should happen. 

Two things will happen. The eleven current SPL teams will vote on whether the Rangers FC will be granted Premier league status. They will require 7 out of 11 votes to stay in. Could you imagine what this would do to Scottish football, the endorsements for Scottish football and more importantly the commercialization of the SPL would drop. Many major TV companies would not pay as much to the SPL for the rights without the Glasgow Derby. There is the Hearts - Hibernian derby, but lets face it. Rangers v Celtic is one of the most anticipated fixtures in the British football calender. And, it is always a close affair. 

Look at it the other way. It would send the wrong message to other teams. If others teams in Scotland (apart from Celtic) had this happened to them. No way would they even get a vote. It is morally wrong. So there is completely two extremes. 

I am going to have to give a controversial view here. I say let Rangers begin life in Scottish football again, and raise money for the Scottish FA, keep the high TV rights. And keep the Glasgow derby a massive fixture.

Do you agree with me?
