The shareholders’ group want four directors’ nominations added to the list of business for the Annual General Meeting – the two Murrays, plus Scott Murdoch and Alex Wilson. If the Court of Session rules in their favour, then this would postpone the AGM, scheduled for October 24, until mid-November as a new Notice to Shareholders would have to be issued and this has to be released 21 days before. The current Rangers board will oppose the court action on Monday but the shareholders’ group is confident that they will prevail. It would then mean that the shareholders could vote the four nominated men onto the board at the AGM while all existing board members are up for re-election. There could be more developments on the back of the court action with former director Dave King heavily tipped to have a leading role in any changes. Chief executive Craig Mather flew to Johannesburg in a bid to woo King to back the current regime. However, it is understood the talks were in vain as the multi-millionaire has an alliance with the shareholders’ group looking for change. A source close to the group said: “Monday will be a significant day in terms of the future for Rangers. “There is confidence that the Court of Session will rule favourably to set a new chain of events into motion. “It will mean that four additional directorial nominations will be added to the business of the AGM and, in turn, the AGM will move to mid-November as a new Notice to Shareholders will have to be issued.” Representatives of the major fans’ groups met with Mather, finance director Brian Stockbridge and James Traynor, the director of communications, on Thursday night to discuss all of the pressing issues.
