Dear Mr Doncaster,

As supporters of Scottish football we are  the driving force of Scottish football.  We do not agree that a 'New Co' Rangers Football Club should be granted entry to the SPL.

Rangers have cheated.  They have funded their way to titles and taken part in European competitions by ignoring the rules.

Rangers built up massive debts; lived well beyond it’s' means; distorted the ‘market’ of it’s own league and maintained illegal business practices for years.  They must not be let off with a slap on the wrist.

Rangers owe millions to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).  That means schools, hospitals and communities are losing out because of tax evasion on a scale of grand larceny.

Taxpayer-funded bodies are owed money! For example: Strathclyde Police (£51,882), Scottish Ambulance Service (£8,438), Culture and Sport Glasgow (£10,338), Glasgow City Council (£7,000), and others.

Rangers owe more than £2.3m to 12 football clubs in Scotland, England and throughout Europe, including Hearts, Dundee Utd and Dunfermline.

We urge you to see sense. Do not allow a ‘New Co’ Rangers back into the SPL.  It will embarrass Scottish football and leave thousands of fans isolated, alienated and disillusioned with the game.  Now is the chance to effect much needed change to our national sport.
