Current board has been under criticism for months, but recently were revealed to plan a loan from Mike Ashley with Ibrox stadium as collateral.

Chairman David Somers previously promised Ibrox would never be used as security for greater debt, but he’s one of the men behind latest loan plan. Seeing no other way, supporters declared war on anyone trying to tear their club apart.

“Quite frankly this latest move by the board is legalised theft and we will not stand by and watch it happen. If necessary we will instigate legal action against the directors both collectively and individually”, a recent statement from Rangers Supporters Trust reads.  

Yesterday the Trust was joined by Rangers Fans Fighting Fund who have £500,000 from donations and are willing to aid the legal fight financially.
