The Rangers Football Club PLC in Administration

Following Rangers FC entering administration today, the SPL confirmed that a number of sporting sanctions have been applied to the club.

An Scottish Premier League spokesperson said: "As Rangers FC is subject to an Insolvency Event, a 10-point deduction has been applied to its total points in the League Championship for the current Season. In addition, Rangers FC is subject to restrictions on the registration of Players with the SPL whilst in administration.

"We are seeking an early meeting with the Administrators."

Notes
The SPL Rules in relation to insolvency (SPL Rule A6.8 to A6.20), which include an automatic 10 point deduction in the event of administration, were adopted by the clubs at a General Meeting in January 2004.
