Scottish Premier League clubs reject Rangers newco application

Scottish Premier League clubs vote "overwhelmingly" against newco Rangers playing their football in the top flight next season.

Newco Rangers have failed in their bid to be accepted into the Scottish Premier League for next season.

Following a meeting this afternoon, the current top flight clubs voted "overwhelmingly" against the Gers being allowed into a league that they have won 54 times.

It must now be decided by the Scottish Football Association in which division Charles Green's newly-formed club will ply their trade.

Some reports have claimed that a drop down to the first division is on the cards, while others have suggested that they could be placed as far down as the fourth tier of Scottish football.
