Dunfermline stand firm on Rangers newco

Dunfermline chairman John Yorkston turned up at Hampden for the crucial vote on the future of Rangers questioning the doomsday scenario put forward if the newco club are not entered into the Irn-Bru First Division.

Representatives from the 30 Scottish Football League clubs made their way to Hampden today for an 11am meeting to establish where Charles Green's newco Rangers will start the forthcoming season.

The vast majority of SFL clubs who have made their views known favour putting Ally McCoist's side into the bottom tier - including Dunfermline, who refused to change their stance despite the package of radical reforms which were revealed on Wednesday as a carrot for clubs to ensure Rangers newco would start afresh in the second tier.
