Hibernian

Shameful epitaph

Celtic have most to feel aggrieved about following the Supreme Court’s confirmation of Rangers’ financial cheating. But what about all the other clubs who may have been relegated, denied cup wins or European spots, or simply the pleasure of victory, due to results during the Ibrox club’s years of impropriety?

Of course the titles should be stripped, along with any other trophies “won” during that period, but they should be left void as a warning from history of the consequences of greed in the pursuit of glory. It won’t happen, due to lack of courage and will, but Rangers’ success in that period is now so irretrievably tainted it can never again be referred to other than as a shameful epitaph to the ultimate fate of Rangers FC.
