Alex Rae has finally revealed the Ibrox agenda- no points deduction for going into administration.

The issue was brought up by a caller on Radio Clyde’s Super Scoreboard programme tonight with the former St Mirren all over the subject.

Current SPFL rules mean that a 15 point deduction is applied to any club going into administration. With Celtic currently 13 points clear an administration event would put the hoops 28 points clear with Steven Gerrard’s side having nine matches left to play with an unlikely 100% record not enough to overtake Celtic.

In November Dave King announced that there was a £10m shortfall in the company accounts, last month the South African businessman walked away with no sign of any investment.

Hearts were the last Scottish side to go into administration, starting the 2013/14 season on minus 15 points.
