Why did rangers get 10 points deducted?

Rangers Football Club was deducted 10 points in the 2012-2013 season due to the club entering administration as a result of severe financial difficulties. The administration was a last resort to manage debts estimated at over £100 million. The points deduction was a penalty imposed by the Scottish Premier League as part of their rules regarding clubs in financial distress. Ultimately, this situation contributed to Rangers' subsequent relegation to a lower division.
