Rangers set to become fifth Scottish club to go into administration Motherwell Put into administration by then owner John Boyle in April, 2002. The club, which was losing over £2 million per year, made 19 players redundant but kept the ones (James McFadden, Stephen Pearson) they would be able to sell. They avoided relegation the following season only because First Division champions Falkirk's Brockville Stadium failed to meet the SPL's requirements. Dundee Went into administration in October 2003 - prompting the SPL, in January 2004, to introduce its 10-point penalty for clubs suffering that fate - after running up debts of £23 million under Italian manager Ivano Bonetti, who brought big names like Claudio Caniggia, Fabrizzio Ravanelli, Craig Burley and Georgi Nemsadze to Dens Park. The club sacked 25 players and staff. They were relegated at the end of that season and have never returned to the top tier. Last season they were handed a 25-point penalty by the Scottish Football League for entering administration for a second time. Livingston Forced into administration in February 2004. Astonishingly, they won the League Cup the following month and managed to remain in the SPL for two more years before being relegated. They came close to liquidation in in 2010 and were demoted to the Third Division but have two successive promotions have revived their fortunes. Gretna Their fairy-tale rise from non-league football in England to appearing in the Scottish Cup final, playing in Europe and reaching the SPL came to an abrupt halt in March 2008 when millionaire benefactor Brooks Mileson withdrew his support due to illness. The club managed to complete their fixtures but were relegated from the SPL and demoted to the Third Division due to their financial problems. Failure to find a new owner saw the club cease to exist.
