The Rangers Fans Fighting Fund has announced they will underwrite any legal costs incurred if it is deemed necessary to challenge the potential stripping of Clydesdale Bank Premier League titles.
An SPL-appointed independent commission chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith will begin a hearing into alleged undisclosed payments made by Rangers to players before the club went into liquidation.
The current Rangers regime are not co-operating with the inquiry but the fans' group, which raised more than £500,000 after the oldco club went into administration, is standing by to fund any potential appeal.
After a meeting tonight, a spokesman for the fans' group said: "It is absolutely crucial that Rangers' titles remain untouched.
"But because there has been a long-running campaign in the media and within certain other clubs to punish Rangers, we must do everything within our power to protect the club's proud history.
"Every fair-minded person knows where these titles belong and we will not sit back and allow anyone to have them removed."
