Former Rangers director Paul Murray has urged fans to back supporters groups trying to buy shares The list of shareholders indicates that Easdale bought the shares from within the group for whom he holds a proxy. His purchase comes against a backdrop of financial turmoil at Ibrox. Former Rangers director Dave King, who has a 15% share in the cash-strapped Scottish Championship club, has called for a general meeting at which he hopes shareholders will vote to remove the four directors - chairman David Somers, Sandy Easdales younger brother, James, chief executive Derek Llambias and finance director Barry Leach - from the board. However, Rangers have since issued a statement to the Stock Exchange saying they intend to seek the withdrawal of the notice, alluding to whether King would pass the Stock Exchange and Scottish Football Association fit and proper person rules. The South Africa-based businessman hopes to have himself, Murray and John Gilligan, the former MD of Tennents, appointed to the board. Murray has urged the clubs fans to play an active role in forcing boardroom change and pledged that the three would-be directors are committed to meaningful fan ownership and representation. Urging Rangers fans to give their support to RST and Rangers First, he said: The fans can play a hugely significant part in forcing change through votes. In the lead up to the general meeting, the usual suspects will attempt to undermine our cause because they realise their days could be numbered. The truth is that, for the first time in years, there is a group of people capable of rebuilding and repairing our club and malicious speculation will not deflect us. /Marcus
