The Scottish Premiership side were likely to have been given an invitation along with Celtic to join the breakaway group with the revamped set-up set to included a massive 80-team structure but they have now made their position clear. Rangers have now release statement standing by UEFA and the European Club Association - stating they do not wish to leave current set-up.

While sharing a statement released by the ECA - which slammed the prospect of a second Super League proposal - Rangers released their own comments on X. It read: " Rangers FC enjoys fantastic representation within the European Club Association, and we reiterate and endorse their strong message on the ‘Super League project.’ We will continue to work with ECA and UEFA to uphold the true principles of European football."
