What could Rangers' 2012 case tell us about Man City's uncertain future?

From sanctions and stripped titles to starting from scratch, BBC Scotland explains how potential consequences for Manchester City compare with the financial collapse of Rangers in 2012.

But finding a direct comparison has been a struggle because of that very word: unprecedented.

Some have attempted to draw parallels with the demise of Rangers in 2012 as an ominous, dark cloud of uncertainty hangs over the Premier League leaders.

Rangers' case ultimately became an insolvency event after the club racked up huge tax liabilities. The Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) scheme was a major part of that.
