Rangers have usually been able to do more or less what they want in Scotland.

Apparently they're currently demanding that the season be extended in the wake of their draw with Hibs at the weekend. They want more time to rest between games in the run-in. The SPL have so far resisted them, thanks in part to a threat of legal action from Celtic, but they're now rumoured to be about to cave in following pressure from the SFA.

It seems odd that the Scottish footballing authorities are on the verge of taking action to privilege one team over all the others in the league, but there you go. Welcome to Scotland.
