John Bennett is set to step down as Rangers chairman.
It's understood the head of the Ibrox boardroom is now expected to quit his post after a challenging period leading the football club.
Bennett first became chairman in April 2023 as he replaced Douglas Park but he has faced increasing pressure from supporters in recent weeks.
The 5.51 per cent RIFC plc stakeholder is thought to have been a vital investor for Rangers over a number of years and has been an influential figure behind the scenes.

Earlier this season he also took on duties of chief executive after James Bisgrove left the club for Saudi Arabia.
During that time, Bennett has had to contend with the nightmare move to Hampden after material delays meant being locked out of Ibrox for a significant period.
The chairman also faced the fury of supporters in the wake of the recent 3-0 loss to Celtic in the first derby meeting between the clubs this term.
