Cove 'considering options' after receiving season-long registration ban over rule breaches
Cove Rangers, the Scottish lower-league club, have been issued a season-long registration ban stemming from rule breaches, according to BBC Sport. The club has stated it is 'considering options', indicating a potential appeal or challenge to the sanction. A registration ban of this length would severely restrict the club's ability to add new players for an entire campaign, compounding any on-field or off-field difficulties they already face.
Read the full story at bbc.co.ukA full season registration ban is one of the heaviest sanctions a lower-league club can absorb, cutting off the transfer market at a time when squad turnover is essential for survival.
