RANGERS director Sandy Easdale says police are investigating threats made against him.
Officers reportedly stepped in after internet posts allegedly urged fans to attack Mr Easdale's house in a bid to remove him from the Ibrox club.
The 47-year-old said he had also received threats.
It came after hundreds of fans protested outside Ibrox stadium against the current Rangers board.
In a statement Mr Easdale said: "I have received several threats that are now in the hands of the authorities and I am confident that Police Scotland will get to the bottom of this.
"I appreciate that feelings are running high but I would like to make an appeal for calm.
"This sort of behaviour is not in the best interests of the club, its shareholders or its true supporters.
"People are entitled to air their views but I hope that all parties will agree that violence and intimidation are unacceptable.
"All I want to see is the best possible outcome for Rangers."
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We have received a complaint and inquiries are continuing."
