Integrity must prevail

It’s impossible for me to feel any sympathy for Rangers. By not paying their taxes, they cheated by hiring players they couldn’t otherwise afford and won trophies under false pretences. This ruined the Scottish game as other clubs spent money trying to challenge them and they cheated the taxpayer out of millions of pounds.

Lord Nimmo Smith’s baffling verdict that they gained no sporting advantage has been shown to be wrong.league titles and cups won during the financial doping years should be expunged from the record books.sporting integrity needs to be maintained.

Footballers may disagree and say that trophies were won on the park, but I don’t think they can get away with this. Letting the records stand would be to condone what was done.
