DUNDEE will take the place of Rangers in the Scottish Premier League next season, it was announced yesterday.
And the Scottish Premier League also appeared to rule out the creation of an 'SPL2' by saying it would work with other Scottish football authorities to "facilitate" Rangers playing in the Third Division, the fourth tier of Scottish football.
Glasgow giant Rangers was expelled from the top-flight after the end of last season following months of financial problems that saw the 140-year-old club enter administration.
And on Friday it was dropped into the Third Division of the Scottish Football League.
Following an SPL meeting yesterday, a statement said: "It was agreed that Dundee FC would be invited to fill the space vacated by Rangers FC in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League."
Dundee, runner-up in the First Division, was competing with Dunfermline, relegated from the SPL last season, for a place in next term's top flight.
