On 16 June the SFA stated, "Someone has to take the lead and sort out the internal bickering...and ensure that the Scotland First Division 2013 Preview & Results First Division 2013 Preview & Results situation never occurs again." Their plan was to merge the SPL and SFL,
introduce a new method of revenue distribution and form a national pyramid that would allow non-league clubs to win promotion to the Third Division. When the "newco" Rangers were denied admission to the SPL,
the SFA pressed the SFL members to accept them into the second tier with the structural reforms as a carrot and dire warnings of imminent financial collapse. To their credit, the SFL membership refused to buckle under pressure and instead listened to their supporters, voting Rangers into the Third Division.
