It’s known as the silly season, but I don’t think anyone was expecting this.

Rangers won’t have a team in the SPL. But apparently they must play in Division One. Fans are talkin' 'bout a revolution. Buckle up.
Meanwhile, in a distant universe, somewhere between LV-426 from Alien and Omicron Persei 8 from Futurama, football is happening. Actual transfers and stuff.
