Rangers have received a boost in their bid to have their 12-month transfer ban overturned after a judge decided the ruling was unlawful.
The Scottish Football Association banned the Glasgow-based club from signing any new players for 12 months and fined them 160,000 pounds as a consequence of their descent into administration.
However, following a three-hour hearing in Edinburgh, Judge Lord Glennie accepted Rangers’ petition for a judicial review and proposed the case should be now be heard by the SFA appeal tribunal, which upheld the initial decision.
If Rangers can overturn the transfer embargo then they will once again be able to sign players aged 18 and over this summer.
The Glasgow outfit recently saw their hopes of re-signing Gennaro Gattuso following his departure from Italian giants AC Milan dashed due to the ban.
