RANGERS FIRST, the Community Interest Company backed by a number of former players, has confirmed that its members will vote in favour of ousting the Ibrox club's current board of directors at the forthcoming extraordinary general meeting.

The organisation, with now more than 11,000 registered contributors, owns a 1.75 per cent stake in the SPFL Championship side and has released the results of a survey based on the seven resolutions that have been put in front of all shareholders by requisitioner Dave King.

Rangers First have confirmed that 99.06% of its existing members will vote to remove chairman David Somers, 97.79 % will vote to remove chief executive Derek Llambias, 98.48% will vote to remove finance director Barry Leach and 98.80 % want James Easdale out the door.

A total of 98.06% of members have reported themselves in favour of appointing Dave King as a director, 96.15% will vote for Paul Murray to be taken onto the board and 98.03% will vote in favour of John Gilligan joining them.

"With over 11,000 members and growing, Rangers First can certainly be seen as a good barometer of the current mood of the Rangers supporters and our members have voted for Dave King's resolutions at the forthcoming General Meeting," said spokesman, Ricki Neill.

"It is clear our members want a change at board level and we will be voting in line with their wishes.

"Rangers fans can play an important role at the General Meeting and there is an undeniable appetite for change. Our members have voted to elect Dave King, Paul Murray and John Gilligan and remove David Somers, Derek Llambias, James Easdale and Barry Leach."

Rangers First is supported by former players including Richard Gough, Jorg Albertz, Claudio Reyna, John Brown, Alex Rae, Nacho Novo, Vladimir Weiss and Gordon Smith.

Meanwhile, the Rangers Supporters' Trust have accused their Celtic counterparts of bombarding the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London with correspondence prior to them cancelling a booking agreed for the Rangers EGM on March 4.

The meeting will now take place at Ibrox Stadium.

"We are pleased that the board has finally been forced by their own ineptitude and propaganda to hold the EGM where it always should have been - Ibrox Stadium," said an RST spokesman.

"Sadly, their shambolic attempt to stop shareholders attending the meeting has led to a great deal of disruption and cost to people wishing to attend.

"We are not sure if the Grange Hotel took its decision not to host the EGM based on the hundreds of Celtic fans who contacted them or because of misinformation from allies of the board. If it was due to the former, we would like to thank those fans for the obsession with our affairs that now sees the EGM being held at Ibrox.

"Only two groups benefit from disruption of the EGM. The board themselves and people who wish to see Rangers remain in financial difficulty.

"We will continue to take proxy votes from any fans who have difficulty attending or who prefer not to. We urge restraint from those who do attend the EGM at Ibrox. It is clear this board will attempt every dirty trick in the book."
