Rangers chief executive Charles Green has warned UEFA that he will challenge their sex discrimination laws if they prevent the club from joining a cross-border league.
Green is keen for Rangers to leave Scottish football following proposals of a new league setup that would see Rangers remain in the bottom tier even if they win this season's Third Division title.
The most likely destination for the club would be English football, and Green believes that a women's league in Belgium and Holland will provide ample precedent for Rangers to complete the move.
"As the structures stand now, there are not many options. But I'm not one for hiding my light behind a bushel," Green told talkSPORT.
"People say you can't go into England because you are not allowed cross-borders [leagues]. Well there is now a cross-border [league]. You have a UEFA-sanctioned professional women's league in Belgium and Holland, so we have a precedent there.
"If there was an opportunity to join a cross-border league and that was challenged by UEFA, I would go to Strasbourg and challenge the sexual equality."
The proposed new Scottish football league system would see the four divisions merge into three consisting of one 12-team league and two 18-team leagues.
