Rangers chief executive Charles Green has backed the Scottish Football League's plans for an alternative league set-up to the one proposed by the Scottish Premier League.
SPL clubs will vote on April 15 to decide whether to change the league structure to a 12-12-18 system, which would prevent Rangers being promoted from the bottom division this season.
However, SFL chairman David Longmuir suggested a 12-12-10-10 structure instead, with two Old Firm colt teams being brought into the league to make up the numbers. Green believes that these plans would be more beneficial to clubs in the the lower divisions due to increased revenue.
"The SFL has shown real leadership in proposing this initiative although it should be pointed out that this was not the result of lobbying from this club. A Rangers Colts team would add value to the league and other clubs would see their home gates enhanced significantly by Rangers fans, particularly those who lived locally," said Green.
"I would also be prepared to guarantee other clubs the ticket revenue equivalent of 300 Rangers fans turning up for matches. This initiative would help smaller clubs who have no choice but to generate revenue any way that they can.
"If the 12-12-18 structure is to be the chosen one then I would propose that two additional teams, one a Rangers Colts team, are added to the lowest league."
Rangers are currently 20 points clear at the top of the Scottish Third Division having been demoted to the bottom tier last year.
