At Hampden Park yesterday afternoon, 25 of the 30 Scottish Football League clubs voted that
Rangers Newco (the new club stitched together like the Six Million Dollar Man from the few
remaining assets of the old, now liquidated club) would be allowed to compete in Division Three in
2012/13.

Many clubs have embraced verbosity. Not so Berwick.
Less than 100 words.
The crucial line: "directly into SFL Division Three."
Berwick Rangers Board tonight agreed unanimously that should the new Rangers FC be admitted to the
SFL for the new season, that they would support a move directly into SFL Division Three.
Three days of Scottish Cup action to look forward to. Much talk of "cupsets" but probably not many
actual upsets. And, I'd wager, a mention or two for Berwick Rangers, the most famous of Davids in
Scottish football's gallery of Goliath-slayers.
Pitch inspections at a few of these games and snow falling as I write so things could be subject to
change.
In another action-packed weekend of Scottish football, Aberdeen fail to capitalise on last week's
epic win against Rangers, Hamilton record a rare win but a tunnel fracas after their game with
Hearts will keep the SFA busy this week. And it's a sign that all is not well in Scottish football
when only 16 goals [.
01.05.2012 - Días complicados vive el (Glasgow) Rangers como para que su
(movilizada) parcialidad protestante unionista resista los embates de un clásico (derby), el
último de la temporada, en casa de su rival campeón (35º jornada de la Liga Escocesa).
No es la condición de River en Argentina o América de Cali en Colombia pero los
Rangers, en el peor momento de su centenaria historia, con quiebra decretada y castigados
por la SFA (Scottish Football Association), llegaron al atestado Celtik Park con 18 puntos
menos que su rival (10 quitados por sanción) para ver como festejaban el título (ya logrado el
mes pasado) ante su público y sus propias narices.
Game Intelligence compresses the week's football smorgasbord into one easily digested pill for
your delectation... Twitter twats get their comeuppance A couple of youth team players from
Scottish Third Division sides Clyde and Berwick Rangers are LOLing on the other side ... Continue

A full SPL card on Boxing Day to help you digest the turkey leftovers.
Well, maybe. Weather permitting. At the moment all the games are on. But that's subject to change.
Motherwell are working on a burst pipe but are apparently confident the TV game will go ahead. A
decision on the Hibs game and Aberdeen's ability to get to Edinburgh is being made tomorrow.
At the end of last season, we did a quick blog post about Scottish Fourth level champions
which stated no team had ever won the Third Division twice in it's 15 year history.
Livingston's 0-0 draw with Berwick Rangers and their crowning as champions has obviously changed
this fact, since Livingston also won the league in the 1995-96 season.

In a remarkable weekend of Scottish fitba in which the league leaders across the four divisions of
Scottish football either saved or dropped valuable points in injury time, Inside Left comes out
smelling of roses, as the predictions we made on Friday turn out to be almost correct. I was
actually a minute or so away [.
Red cards, score draws and a dream about Wick Academy all feature in this week's quick (and we mean
quick) round-up of the weekend action across Scotland.
While the rest of the UK is still fannying around in meaningless friendlies, up in Scotland the
season has started for the clubs in the Scottish Football league, as this years Alba Challenge Cup
kicked off.
Boxing Day football is a British tradition. Whereas most of the big European leagues let their
players have the entire Christmas weekend off, the English, Scottish and Welsh leagues go right
back to work. But this year, the holidays have come along with quite a bit of snow, and much of the
schedule in England and Scotland will be called off.
