ALLY McCOIST today admitted he would be 'committing suicide' by voting against the Rangers board at next month's AGM.

But the Light Blues boss insists he has not decided what camp to pledge his allegiance to as D-Day approaches in the boardroom battle.

As a shareholder in Rangers International Football Club plc, McCoist will have a vote at the shareholder summit on December 19 that will determine if the current Ibrox hierarchy remain in place or are ousted in favour of the group headed by former director Paul Murray.

McCoist said: "I've not made my mind up, to be honest with you. I've been thinking about an awful lot of other things other than how I'm going to vote.

"It doesn't put me in an uncomfortable position at all because the one thing I will certainly do, and have always attempted to do, is the right thing for the club, and that will continue to be the case.

"I think that would be committing suicide if I did that (voted against my employers) to be honest with you!

"But honestly, I haven't given it much thought about the vote, that's something that I will think about nearer the time.

"I don't think I would seek assurances as such. I don't think I am in a position to ask demands of people.

"The only assurance we would all require, myself, staff, players, shareholders, would be that everyone has got the club's interests at heart and I think it's safe to say that might not have been the case with some previous people who have been here. That's the only assurance I would hopefully get from the new board."

The Rangers hierarchy have bolstered their ranks with the appointments of Graham Wallace as chief executive, non-executive director Norman Crighton and David Somers, who was yesterday confirmed as chairman on a permanent basis.

The Light Blue legions have been vocal in their protests against the board in recent weeks and McCoist insists they deserve to have their voices heard.

He said: "It would be totally wrong of me to tell the fans not have their voice because they have kept the club going for two-and-a-half years.

"I am in total support of the fans having a voice. But, at the same time, I'm incredibly hopeful we can all move forward after the AGM.

"The events that unfold on December 19 will tell us where we are. We will all have to take stock of them.

"But I am really hopeful the result will give us, if not a line in the sand, then the ability to sing from the same hymnsheet. That hasn't been the case in the past. But the fans have kept the club alive and thoroughly deserve their voice."
