Rangers face uncertain future

Rangers yesterday filed notice of their intention to enter administration as they admitted they could be facing a tax bill of “substantially more than £50million (€60m)”.

Rangers lodged papers at the Court of Session in Edinburgh and said a final decision would be taken in the next two weeks.

The Scottish champions will be automatically hit with a 10-point deduction by the Scottish Premier League if they proceed, which would all but end their bid for a fourth successive title.
