THE BBC has apologised after receiving more than 400 complaints about presenter Jim Spence who referred to Rangers as "the old club that died".
Mr Spence provoked the ire of Rangers fans after making the comments on the Sportsound radio show about attempts to end a boardroom civil war by appointing four additional non-executive directors, including former Ibrox chairman John McClelland, bus tycoon Sandy Easdale, former director Paul Murray and accountant Frank Blin.
It comes three months after the BBC Trust ruled that BBC Scotland breached its guidelines on accuracy in reports about the financial collapse of the holding company running Rangers.
