Dave King consortium secures control of Rangers

A consortium headed by Dave King is voted onto the Rangers board at an EGM meeting on Friday.

Dave King, Paul Murray and John Gilligan have been voted onto the Rangers board at Friday's extraordinary general meeting.

The consortium, which is headed by King, received 85% of votes cast by shareholders, while Derek Llambias and Barry Leach were voted off the board.

King told reporters: "It's not a turning point in history of the football club, but a turning point in future to take it back to it history.

"What we want is a football club that reflects that history both on the field and off the field."

Murray will become interim chairman until King is successful in passing a fit-and-proper person test.
