Gers ready to accept their fate

Newco Rangers chief executive Charles Green will accept whatever fate is dealt them in their application to the Scottish Football League after their top-flight bid ended with an “overwhelming” defeat.

Most Rangers fans have demanded the club push for entry to the Irn-Bru Third Division amid moves to place them in the First Division but Green will let the SFL clubs decide.

Scottish Premier League clubs voted against the application despite growing expectations ahead of their Hampden meeting that they would defer a vote in order to seek clarity on the SFL clubs’ intentions.
