Subject: BS: Glasgow Rangers
So, it looks as though Glasgow Rangers are going into administration. I wonder of their future and that of Scottish football. It occurs to me that the demise of Rangers, should it come about, may eventually strengthen the Scottish Game. Why? well, Celtic, although they'd flourish for the first few years, would soon lose income as punters, bored of the lack of competition in the league, stayed home. Similarly, this lack of competition would mean doing (even) worse in Europe, thus weakening the co-efficient, etc. And as Celtic weakened, the other teams would slowly start to catch up with them, and then the competition would start once more and Celtic plus whoever were now their equals - hopefully two or three teams - would all be playing for the title. Thus, Scottish football would slowly strengthen again.
