Duane, Your solution on the age of Rangers stepping up or in this case down an age-group is???? Sorry partner even in Christian circles when rules are set up for fair play someone will try to find a loop-hole <that's mankind in a nutshell>. As for the election please give your sources on the charges of shenanigans for both sides.
