CLUB 1872 will vote in favour of a new share issue at the Rangers Annual General Meeting next week following a poll of members.
The Ibrox board are seeking permission to allocate shares without offering them to all investors as part of a move to convert a portion of the soft loans from the likes of Dave King and the Three Bears.
Club 1872 became the second largest Light Blues shareholder earlier this year after buying half of Mike Ashley’s stake.
And their 10.71 per cent will be used to back all eleven Resolutions on the agenda at the AGM in Glasgow.
Chairman King received 93 per cent backing from members, while Douglas Park, John Bennett got 95 per cent and Alasdair Johnston 96 per cent.
Paul Murray earned 90 per cent of the vote, but Graeme Park polled lowest of the Ibrox board with 85 per cent.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
