jul 4, 2012 - Regan comes under pressure to resign in the wake of the leaked emails detailing the gerrymandering of the league set up and back room agreement leaked previously. He comes back blazing though with a warning that Scottish football faces “a slow lingering death” if Rangers are not parachuted into the First Division.

Description:

“If Rangers were to go anywhere else, then there would be somewhere in the region of £15.7million worth of losses.
....
“Clubs could survive for a short period of time but it’s not sustainable so there would be a slow, lingering death for the game.
“As the governing body, we can’t allow that to happen. It would simply be a dereliction of duty.
“There are only losers in this and it is just a case of how much is going to be lost. Even if Rangers end up in the First Division, there is still going to be a £5m loss of income to the SPL clubs.
“They are relying on the SFA bringing the process forward and clearly they are relying on the SFL clubs to think long and hard about the next step.
“It’s time for decisive action and leadership. We have not been able to get involved intensely until this moment as we don’t run the leagues.
“The SPL have made a decision and we now need to help drive this process forward. The game is broken at the moment and we have to fix it.”
