Well, we’re through the looking glass now ladies and gentleman. With their side absolutely horsed in the league, knocked out of all cup competitions, they are now crying sporting integrity to stop Celtic getting their title.

The Rangers, who were born out of the old club going bust after cheating on a massive scale in Scottish football are preaching about the integrity of sport.

Surely the 30 games which have actually been played take more precedent against 8 which have not.

We understand the partisan nature of what’s going on and they will have no other recourse but to claim they could have made a comeback for the title. The impressive thing is, they appear to be doing it with a straight face.

What’s more, they’re trying to push for a null and void and have no interest in playing games behind closed doors.

Knowing this would be the most credible option to finish the season, let’s face it, any option which involves the result of the title being determined by kicking a football, they don’t want. And for good reason, they’re not very good.

“It is our firm view that this season’s league competition (2019/20) is only complete when all 38 games are played by all teams.” Ibrox managing director Stewart Robertson told RecordSport.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we believe that final standings can only be confirmed when all games have been completed, not before. Any attempt to finish the season with a significant amount of games still to play, impacts upon the integrity of sport in Scotland.

“Furthermore, we are strongly opposed to playing games behind closed doors. Rangers fans have stuck by our club in the darkest of times. Their loyalty will not be forgotten and they will not be left behind.”
