Under-fire Rangers directors urged to stand down

RANGERS fans today called on the under-fire Ibrox board to stand down en masse - and save the Glasgow club the cost of staging an EGM.

Dave King has declared he is "absolutely certain" he will receive enough backing to take control at his boyhood heroes at a general meeting.

South Africa-based King needs to get the support of 51 per cent of the shareholders in order to oust the current despised regime.

Gers directors who are desperately trying to cling onto power have been examining whether the "notice is properly constituted".

Senior officials at the SPFL Championship club are legally required to announce a date for the EGM by tomorrow at the latest.

And sources at the club, which agreed a controversial 10 million loan with Mike Ashley last month, have claimed it could cost up to 250,000.

But Chris Graham of the Union of Fans, an amalgamation of the six main supporters' bodies, believes there is an easy way around that.

He has called on James Easdale, Barry Leach, Derek Llambias and chairman David Somers to resign and save Rangers the money.

He said: "The sensible thing to do given the level of backing that clearly exists for Dave King would be for the board to stand down.
