Rangers media partners Heart and Hand react to SPFL Sky TV deal
Rangers appear to have been frozen out by the SPFL as their proposed Sky Sports TV deal finally gets the green light thanks to Livingston.
According to the Daily Mail, Livingston have now come around to the proposal which would be worth £150million over the duration of the agreement which has given the SPFL the 11-1 vote they need to go ahead.
The Light Blues are the only club who have not signed or agreed to the deal but with every other Premiership club in agreement, the majority decision has gone against them.
Rangers’ official media partners Heart and Hand were very quick to respond to the news and they are unsurprisingly unhappy with the eventual outcome.
“Said it from day one, they’d just change the rules to get what they want,” they said via their personal Twitter account while Rangers themselves are yet to comment.
Typical
It is a very worrying sign that no other Premiership club dare go against what the big-wigs in charge say because it could very quickly descend into anarchy for a lot of them if they keep getting their way.
Rangers have always been very outspoken in not agreeing on every decision that comes from the top and they are totally within their rights to object to something they don’t agree with.
Maybe they need to start going around the other clubs and asking why they are ok with this because there is no logic behind them being the only ones against it.
The rest of the Premiership must be jealous that the Bears were sent down to League Two and still rose up to beat them all in such a short space of time.
It looks like, once again, the Gers have been backed into a corner but if the cinch row has taught anything, it’s that they won’t back down without a proper fight.
In other Rangers news, a January move for this summer nearly-man could be the answer to the problem Giovanni van Bronckhorst is facing.
