# Glasgow Rangers: Fans rage at Neil Doncaster’s latest comments

**Glasgow Rangers were one of the biggest vocal opponents to the premature ending of the season.**

The Gers were [adamant](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-demand-right-finish-premiership-21880194) that the campaign should be finished on the pitch rather than off it, but unfortunately for them, the general consensus was that there was no way that it could be completed safely. As such, their fierce Glasgow rivals Celtic were crowned as champions, and Hearts [were relegated](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/52646282) to the second tier – this was back in May.

The Scottish Premiership wasn’t the only European league to take that difficult decision, though – Ligue 1 was one of those that also decided that it was not safe to continue. However, unlike in Scotland, relegation from the country’s top tier has been [suspended](https://www.goal.com/en/news/ligue-1-relegation-cancelled-but-lyon-denied-champions/ts4hc6lo13vkzbwnwcm3ruo8#:~:text=Ligue%201%20relegation%20overruled%20but%20Lyon%20denied%20Champions%20League%20spot%20by%20French%20court,-Goal&text=The%20high%20court%20in%20France,2019%2D20%20season%20was%20cancelled.).

SPFL chief Neil Doncaster has been [speaking](https://twitter.com/ScotlandSky/status/1271472330603139073) about the French move, and he has explained that it is a wholly different situation north of the border. The Gers fans, of course, have noticed these quotes, and they have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts – one fan even called him a “waste of space”. You can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.

> Liar. Also contradiction of what he said previously. The guy has put Scottish Football in to financial hardship just to give Celtic the title. Literally picked the worst option to end the season.
