Ten of the 12 clubs in the SPL at the time voted in favour of demoting Rangers to the old Third Division.
It was a long journey for the Ibrox side. It took them four years to climb back to the Premiership.
"I can't remember all the reasons why that happened but they could have found a better solution to it because at the end of the day the health of the game is derived around supporters and those supporters weren't there."I was surprised about Rangers, after they got back in the Premier League, they [the fans] still travelled. They could easily have said 'well I'm not going there, you voted us out'. But they kept their dignity.
