What exactly is the crime

I keep hearing that Rangers should have titles stripped because they spent money they couldn't afford.

If this was a crime, then we would be stripping trophies off half the teams in Europe. Any signs of Portsmouth being stripped of the FA cup they won? nope. spending money you dont have is not actually a breach of the rules. Chelsea have been doing it for years. They have massive debts which are guaranteed by a wealthy owner.

So the crime is actually not disclosing payments to the SFA / SPL. Not the fact they couldn't afford to repay the tax. The punishment for this is the same as any other company. They went out of business and are now starting at the bottom of the SFL.

Ironically they were replaced by a team that had be in admin twice.

The point is the moral argument, they bought titles has to be divorced from the technicalities of the case.

Neither are Rangers the only club to have used EBT's. Arsenal used them. Will they be stripped of any honours ? or any other team.

and in the name of sporting integrity, Celtic had a higher football budget in the SPL years in question. They were playing fortunes to lennon, sutton larrson et al. If they didn't win every title they should be looking closer to home.
