Ally McCoist today spoke to the press and gave his reaction to the decision to put Rangers into division three.
The manager said:
‘I fully accept the decision of the SFL today and thank them for allowing us into the SFL.
Clearly, starting again from the bottom league is not ideal and makes the task of rebuilding Rangers a longer one but the SFL was placed in an impossible situation and I respect its decision. I fully supported the fans views that starting again in Division 3 maintains the sporting integrity that the SPL clubs were so keen on.
The SPL clubs and the SFA have made their positions clear over the last few weeks and it remains to be seen what the long term effects of their decisions will be. Rangers has been severely punished for the actions of some individuals who previously ran the Club and it will take time for us to recover but we will come back stronger thanks to the loyalty of the fans and the commitment of everyone at Ibrox who are working tirelessly to bring stability and success back to Rangers.
I will be carefully monitoring events and reactions over the new few days and will be making further comments probably early next week.’
I admit to feeling a little emotional I watched Ally speak today. No one has felt the hurt of all this more than him and he has shown great loyalty to the club. Each and every Rangers fan should be proud of him.
