[QUOTE=“Bandage, post: 1128981, member: 9”]11 minutes injury time at Ibrox where Rangers salvaged a 2-2 draw. But Hibs’ victory allowed them to climb into second place.
Last game of the “regular” season next week. Rangers away to Hearts and Hibs away to Falkirk.
Team/Points
Hearts/90
Hibs/67
Rangers/66
Queen of the South/60
Third plays fourth and the winner meets second. Whoever wins that then plays 11th in the top flight (likely to be Motherwell).[/QUOTE]
Battling performance all the same to come from 2 down to draw with a side still undoubtedly on a high after making it to the Scottish Cup Final.
Sevco finished third in the championship after today’s results. Hibernian won 3-0 at Falkirk to secure second place so Sevco will need to come through 3 separate 2-leg ties to earn promotion against Queen of the South, Hibs and (probably) Motherwell. The refereeing decisions are likely to be off the scale in terms of being scandalously biased over these games. You’ll see the clips here on TFK.
Am i right in saying 3rd in the championship is Sevco’s highest ever league position? That’s good going for a club no-one had ever heard of a few years ago. Hard to see them come through against clubs with such history such as Hibs and Motherwell now to advance to the SPL. Sevco will be hoping next season they consolidate their position in the championship as it would be easy to slip back down through the divisions from where they came.
[QUOTE=“mickee321, post: 1132491, member: 367”]what’s the story now ?
is it QOTS in a 2 legged PO?. winners play Hibs and then winners play 2nd last in the other “league”?[/QUOTE]
Yes, pal. I’ve clarified that just above your post, you dumb oblivious cunt.
It really is a fairytale story for a club only formed 3 years ago that they are in the cusp of making it to the top tier of Scottish football. If it does transpire, is there a precedent for this anywhere in the world, yet alone Scotland? 3 consecutive promotions for a newly formed club to make it to the top tier?

That clip could come in very handy on tfk moving forward.
[SIZE=6]Rangers: Mike Ashley wants EGM and £5m loan returned[/SIZE]
Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has called on the Rangers board to hold an extraordinary meeting to pay back his £5m loan to the Glasgow club.
Ashley, who owns a 9% stake in Rangers, has also asked the board to explain why the club has been delisted from the AIM stock exchange.
If the loan is paid back, the club will regain security over their branding, the Murray Park training ground and the club’s retail rights.
All are currently held by Ashley.
The move comes after the Sports Direct owner lost control of the Ibrox boardroom to South Africa-based businessman Dave King, who is awaiting Scottish FA approval to become the club’s new chairman.
That followed an EGM called by King in March, when shareholders backed the former Rangers director and his allies.
Paul Murray, who was named interim chairman, was this month formerly cleared by the SFA to become a director of the Scottish Championship club despite sitting on the board along with King in the years preceding Rangers’ insolvency in 2012.
Police investigating takeovers at Rangers last week searched Sports Direct’s Derbyshire headquarters.
The company stressed that it related to “various persons previously employed by and or associated with Rangers” and was “not directed at Sports Direct or at any of its directors or employees”.
Rangers International Football Club plc was delisted from AIM in April after the club failed to appoint a nominated advisor.
That following the resignation of previous nomad, WH Ireland, but the club blamed the previous administration.
Derek Llambias, a former Newcastle managing director, took charge in December and appointed former Sports Direct executive Barry Leach as finance director.
An initial £2m loan from Ashley had given the Newcastle owner the right to appoint two directors to Rangers’ board.
The Englishman agreed a further £10m loan in January to help keep the club solvent, although only £5m was made available immediately as working capital.
Sports Direct started its merchandising deal with the Glasgow club in 2012 following a takeover led by English businessman Charles Green, after which Rangers were accepted to play in the Scottish Third Division.
Sevco prevailed 3-2 on aggregate. Lee Wallace scored a borderline offside second half equaliser and today’s second leg finished 1-1.
They progress to play Hibernian now and the first leg is in Govan on Wednesday night.
Motherwell were confirmed as the SPFL relegation play-off team yesterday after they lost at St Mirren and Ross County won. Scott McDonald was sent off for violent conduct in injury time on the recommendation of 4th official Andrew Dallas, son of Hugh, and he’ll presumably miss the play-off against the winner of Sevco and Hibs.
