Total disgrace that a petition is needed for the blatantly obvious. Strip the titles! And if someone could explain the meaning of liquidation to the orcs n gollums of the klan horde/sfa that would be great.

Cheats should never prosper. If Rangers are not stripped of titles then cheats have prospered and that would be wrong. It would also prove what many have suspected for years; that Scottish football is run for the benefit on one club.

Strip the Trophies & Titles. Murray's Title must also be stripped, his megalomania started all this with the backing of corrupt bankers and administrators. Campbell Ogilvie should be jailed.

Over that ten year period, I was paying for three season books, plus attending most away games, again x 3. In today's value you are talking a total cost in excess of £25,000. Many others will be in a similar postion. Do I feel cheated? You bet I do. Title stripping and an apology is the minimum we can expect.

Don't let the cabal of Scotland's mainstream media and it's football authorities fool you with distractions and downright lies, the reality really is as simple and as 'common sense' as the judges ruled last week: the tax dodge allowed the former Rangers club the cash to attract players who were so talented they wouldn't have come anywhere near Scotland. Rangers' domestic rivals chose not to follow this example, and tried in vain to compete while trading within their means. Others were tempted to accrue debt just to compete, again with little success but also to their long term detriment. David Murray himself, under the guise 'Mr Black' at the original tribunal, confirmed under oath he introduced use of the in order to attract a better standard of footballer than they would otherwise have been able to afford. By his own mouth, Murray confirmed Rangers enjoyed a sporting advantage over it's rivals. They cheated. They also failed to comply with registration criteria, every year for the duration of EBT use, by deliberately witholdinhg reference to EBT's when submitting details of players' contracts to the SFA. Standard practice should decree the result of every game the improperly registered players appeared in be a 3-0 defeat, which in itself would see titles and trophies 'won' from 1998 until the club's liquidation and demise in 2012 be declared null and void. Only in Scotland would the countries mainstream media outlets act in concert to bury the truth of the biggest scandal in British sporting history, and to seek to sanitise the perpretrators. They cheated. Strip the titles and trophies.

No club (or company) is beyond the law nor should outweigh the need for sporting integrity. More worrying is the possible condoning of the SFA and others in this. Strip the titles for sure.

Ben Johnson, Lance Armstrong Juventus, Russians at the 2012 Olympics have all cheated in one way or another and been punished . Why on earth should Rangers think they can break football and tax rules and it be ignored.

No matter the sport and individual, team or teams there is just no justification for ignoring cheating or failing to deal with it. The sport is finished if it is not dealt with swiftly. Where guilt has been established no room should be left for debate.
