It's set to be a stormy shareholders meeting as punters demand answers over a host of issues that have seen the club regress
It's set to be a stormy shareholders meeting as punters demand answers over a host of issues that have seen the club regressboard will gather on the banks of the River Clyde to be grilled by the club's shareholders – and the waters are set to be choppy for the Ibrox hierarchy.
So there will be plenty of finger pointing and not even a six-goal rout of Kilmarnock on Wednesday will ease tensions. Follow it all LIVE right here.There's already around 1500 shareholders in attendance - that's a fair old turnout for a Thursday morning given that many would have to take time off work.Technical director Nils Koppen, chief financial officer James Taylor, commercial director Karim Virani are also set to take a seat at the top table.Philippe Clement set to appear.
On a freezing cold morning fans shivered in the stands but kept their wrath nice and warm for the hated Board and in particular then chairman David Somers, who was booed and heckled and had to shuffle in along with the rest of the directors in their makeshift tent on the pitch. Surreal doesn’t even begin to describe it.How will Rangers bridge the gap to Celtic? Well, investment would certainly help.
Rangers capitulated during the run-in, lost the Scottish Cup Final, crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers at the first hurdle and are now trailing Celtic by 11 points. He has taken on more responsibility but there are questions marks over some of his business. Last season’s loan flop Fabio Silva, Mohamed Diomande, Oscar Cortes, albeit not helped by injuries, and Robin Propper are just four players who were brought in under his watch and the lesser-spotted Clinton Nsiala.
And who picked up the tab? The annual accounts only went up to June 30 so the whole fiasco wasn’t covered. Did the contractor pick up the tab, or Rangers?John Gilligan will take his place at the AGM but he is still holding the fort in his position as interim chairman, stepping in after John Bennett stood down for health reasons.
The purpose of the meeting was to raise issues around the club’s financial results and provide clarity and context to help in form fan analysis ahead of the AGM. Delays in publishing minutes to our meetings are completely unacceptable and we expect the club to move much more quickly in the future to ensure appropriate fan insight.
