DAVE KING has vowed to outline his vision for the future for Rangers after declaring victory in his battle with the Ibrox board.

The former Light Blues director is edging closer to a return to the top table alongside Paul Murray and John Gilligan and is confident he has achieved a majority backing in his bid to oust the depleted regime.

Having seen chairman David Somers and James Easdale quit the board in recent days, only chief executive Derek Llambias and finance director Barry Leach remain in the King crosshairs.

The South Africa-based businessman claims Somers advised him he would remain in office until Friday to assist with the handover of power and was 'disappointed' to see him leave with immediate effect on Monday morning.

Llambias and Leach remain in position and King has urged them to implement the appointment of himself, Murray and Gilligan before heading for the exit door.

The lifelong Gers fans could be given the keys to Ibrox in the coming days and King will then present his Ibrox blueprint to supporters as he looks to rebuild the club on and off the park.

He said: "All of the Rangers directors that are subject to my requisition have now accepted that my resolutions have been successful and there is now no need for the general meeting to proceed.

"Mr Llambias put it best by advising me that I had achieved a "landslide" victory. I wish to thank all shareholders, and particularly the fans, for this resounding success. The future now looks more recognisable for all Rangers stakeholders.

"James Easdale and David Somers did the right thing by resigning however the two appointees of Mr Ashley have stubbornly refused to resign and are using their current position (as remaining directors) to withhold implementation of the resolutions for personal gain.

"Now that the incoming board and I can focus on the future I will issue a further press statement outlining the immediate and intermediate steps that we have to take as we commence the road to re-establishing Rangers to the institution that its legacy demands."
