Rangers have won their appeal against the Scottish Football Association's decision to impose a year-long transfer ban on them, the troubled club said on their website on Tuesday.
The ban was handed out after Rangers, who went into adminstration in February over unpaid taxes, were charged with bringing the game into disrepute.
Rangers challenged the ban at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on the grounds that it was not one of the sanctions in the SFA's regulations and Lord Glennie ruled that the decision should be reconsidered by the ruling body's appeal panel.
"I regret that I cannot accept that view," Lord Glennie said. "There is no mention of suspensions, expulsions or ejection from the Cup."
Rangers are still banned from signing players because they are in adminstration but a takeover bid from former Sheffield United chief executive Charles Green was accepted two weeks ago.

Now not declaring EBTS to the football authority carries the max punishment, over to you SFA /SPL the facts are there! Celtic done the Sweep Sweep Rangers accounted for their EBTs Ha Ha HA
Rangers declared all EBTs, Celtic did not, the can of worms in now officially open, heres the quote from BBC "Celtic confirmed that it established one EBT scheme in April 2005, which BBC Scotland understands was for the benefit of the Brazilian midfielder Juninho Paulista. The scheme was worth £765,000 but the club did not declare the trust payment to the Scottish Football Association or the Scottish Premier League. " SEE YOU IN DEVISION 3
