SPL clubs reluctant to vote for a future without Rangers The SPL board can simply reject any attempt - or repeated applications - to admit a Rangers newco until such time as the phoenix club presents self-imposed conditions that would be acceptable to the other clubs. For the moment, all is in the realm of conjecture. Experience of this saga cautions against making assumptions, but there appears to be an acceptance amongst other clubs that if Rangers are handicapped beyond a certain point, the league as a whole will suffer. Nevertheless, strongly held opinions are expected to be voiced at Monday's meeting. In the meantime, Rangers still have no notion how many of the existing squad will remain at Ibrox next season, although there have been declarations of intent, such as that delivered by Dorin Goian. It has been a difficult year for everyone connected with Rangers. Despite all those difficulties, I have enjoyed my first year here and I'm sure the next year will be better," said the Romanian defender, who has established what would likely be - in other circumstances - a durable partnership. Next season, I just want to play better as an individual and also that the team does better. Hopefully, ­everything will be OK. I want to stay here. I have a contract here for another two years and I enjoy it. Life in Scotland suits me and my family and we enjoy living here. Of course, the first few months were difficult but after that it's been great. The SPL is a good league. I can compare it with Romanian football and I think it's better, it has a good rhythm and it's attractive for the fans. The quality is good in Scotland but we know that we can improve as a team. Celtic won the championship by a big margin but I'm confident it will be much closer next year. I played against them for the first time this season and I can feel it on the pitch, that we're as good as Celtic. If we didn't have the problems we've faced this year, we could have won the championship. The manager had to explain to everyone what administration meant for the club. At the beginning, I didn't know anything about it, so for those couple of weeks it was tough but we always stayed together. We made a decision on a pay cut to help everyone at the club. Ally McCoist is a big coach and a big man. He's very loved here at Ibrox and I feel sorry for him that he didn't win the title because I know how much it means to him. There are some examples of players who have been legends for their clubs then take over as coach and if they've won it as a player, they want to do it as a manager. Ally is the same - I know he wanted it so much. We couldn't do it for him this time but we're confident we'll do it next season. I have no regrets. When my agent told me about Glasgow Rangers, I really wanted to come here and it would be a big disappointment if this team breaks up over the summer. It would be a disappointment, not just for me, but for so many people. A club like this doesn't deserve to break up - because it's more than a football club.
