A newco Rangers will be refused admittance to the Scottish Premier League, with six clubs publicly saying they will vote against the application.
St Johnstone, Aberdeen and Inverness announced their opposition on Monday, following in the footsteps of Hearts, Dundee United and Hibernian.
Rangers require an 8-4 majority in the 4 July vote to transfer their share in the league to Charles Green's newco.
Green's club is now likely to apply to play in the Scottish Football League.
Rangers, champions of Scotland a record 54 times, lost their the SPL place when the old company was consigned to liquidation earlier this month.
Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne said: "I can confirm it is our intention to oppose readmission to the SPL for any Rangers newco.
"If readmission were to be refused, we believe the appropriate course of action would be for Rangers newco to apply for membership to the SFA and to submit an application for admission to the SFL."
Inverness chairman Kenny Cameron said the club would be in an "untenable position" if they ignored the wishes of their supporters
