THE Rangers Supporters Trust have sought assurances that Monday's powder keg Ibrox AGM will be run properly and that shareholders will get a chance to probe the under-fire board.

 

The Trust have written to chairman David Somers, Nominated Advisor WH Ireland and registrars Capita ahead of the meeting that will see the board face the wrath of the Light Blue legions.

Relations between supporters and Ibrox directors have plummeted even further in recent weeks and the Trust are determined punters will get their point across next week.

Somers blamed the cold weather for cutting short the question and answer session at the AGM twelve months ago and took questions from the audience in bundles as many queries went unanswered.

Boss Ally McCoist will join Somers, Derek Llambias and Sandy and James Easdale on the Ibrox stage and the RST are keen to have their fears allayed before shareholders turn out for what could be a stormy affair on Monday.

The letter states: "Since then, we have seen what we regard as the further mismanagement of the company, inexplicable decisions on financing the company going forward and further undue influence applied to the PLC board by shareholders Sandy Easdale and Mike Ashley.

"We expect that all questions from shareholders will be answered, as they are asked, and that follow up questions will be allowed within reason.

"We do not expect multiple questions to be taken at a time. We do not expect Mr Somers to attempt to cut short shareholders rights on the basis of the weather.

"The company, and for many of us our football club, is in dire straits.

"The board remain unwilling to engage properly with their concerned shareholders and customers, and this is the only opportunity we may have for another year to get the clarification we require regarding the decisions they have made."
