Former Rangers player and manager Graeme Souness believes the clubs return to the Scottish Premiership will offer a boost to the whole of Scottish football. The Gers defeated Dumbarton 1-0 on Tuesday night to secure their return to the top-flight after they were demoted to the fourth-tier in 2012.Rangers and rivals Celtic go head-to-head in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup on April 17 - live on Sky Sports - but the fixture will once again be a regular occurrence from next season, something Souness feels can only benefit the domestic game. Graeme Souness says its great news Rangers have been promoted back to the Scottish Premiership No one can argue its not been bad for Scottish football for Rangers not to be in the Premier League, said Sky Sports football expert and columnist Souness.If the shoe had been on the other foot, I am sure Rangers supporters would have celebrated Celtic having the same problems.But thats the short-term outlook because Celtic, since Rangers went down, have not really had a challenge. Rangers fans talk about their delight as their team were promoted back to the Scottish Premiership Theres been a bit of a challenge from Aberdeen but its not been sustained.[Virgil] van Dijk, [Victor] Wanyama, [Fraser] Forster, three of Celtics better players, have gone. Do Celtic sell them if Rangers are still a challenge? No. That means the quality of football that Celtic fans are watching has diminished. Dont take my word for it, take a look at the gates at Celtic Park since Rangers have not been in the big league. Rangers Harry Forrester celebrates promotion The profile of the Premier League in Scotland has been diminished, its not as interesting to people outside of Scotland as it was when Rangers were there.Theres not the same interest from television companies and other media outlets. Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Rangers manager Mark Warburton insists his side wont become complacent following their promotion back to the Premiership As much as people have enjoyed the demise of Rangers and the damage to Rangers, they are shooting themselves in the foot and if they are thinking any differently, they are kidding themselves on.Watch Rangers v Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

Parramatta star Corey Normans NRL season is over after being suspended for eight weeks over his drug possession conviction and sex tape scandal.The NRL on Thursday rubbed Norman out until the end of round 26 and fined him $20,000 over his recent run of bad behaviour.The governing body took a hardline stance after the playmaker had attracted a string of damaging headlines, including pleading guilty after being caught in May with MDMA and muscle relaxants at The Star casino.On the same night, he was photographed alongside housemate James Segeyaro and former teammate Junior Paulo dining with bikies and all three were subsequently warned by police about consorting with criminals.He was also embroiled in a sex tape scandal after a group attempted to sell to the media footage showing Norman performing a sexual act on a woman.The video was made with Normans consent and was sent to friends and teammates.He was also punished after sending a video to teammates via Snapchat of an elderly man snorting a white substance, believed to be cocaine.The message is clear, players cannot put themselves in a position where they may damage their own reputations and that of the game, head of the NRL integrity unit Nick Weeks said.We have been consistent thiss year in imposing strong penalties where players bring the game into disrepute through actions off the field.ddddddddddddWhether it is drug possession, criminal associations or social media use, players understand the consequences that can flow from illegal or other unacceptable conduct.The group selling the Norman sex tape had asked for $150,000, however Weeks said Norman was not a victim in this instance because he had knowingly distributed the video.While it is a regrettable trend in society for people to look to sell footage of sports stars in their private lives, there is an easy solution for our players - do not engage in activity which will damage their reputation or that of the game, Weeks said.Norman was tentatively stood down for one match by the Eels but the NRL demanded he sit out eight weeks.Normans suspension is in line with the eight-week ban handed to Sydney Roosters halfback Mitchell Pearce after his Australia Day video scandal.Roosters coach Trent Robinson earlier this week lashed the NRL for not doing enough to snuff out the trend of third parties attempting to film players for profit.
