Stewart Regan the SFA Chief has warned of dire consequences unless Rangers Newco are admitted to Division One. He said: “Without Rangers there is social unrest – there is a big problem for Scottish society.
“I think if you look at the huge fan base Rangers have in this country, to contemplate a situation where those fans don’t have a team to support, where those fans are effectively left without a game to follow – I just think that could lead to all sorts of issues and all sorts of problems for the game. Tribalism in football is really important, a part of the game.
“People follow their club with pride. It’s passed down from generation to generation and there are thousands of Rangers fans whose fathers have been Rangers fans and whose grandfathers have been Rangers fans.
“You can’t contemplate a situation without that and if Rangers weren’t to exist I think that could have real dire consequences.”
