PAUL MURRAY fears Charles Green is still involved in the running of Rangers.

The Ibrox board hopeful met with fans in Glasgow last night ahead of the AGM on December 19 that could see Malcolm Murray, Alex Wilson and Scott Murdoch join him at the Ibrox top table if investors vote to oust the current regime.

Controversial former chief executive Green left Rangers for the second time earlier this year following a short stint as a consultant, which came just weeks after he stepped down following allegations of co-operation with Craig Whyte.

Murray said: "I do feel that Charles Green is involved. We went to see a shareholder last week and he told us that Charles Green had been to see him the previous day.

"You have to ask the question, if Charles Green has sold his shares and is no longer involved with the club, why is he going to see shareholders to influence them to vote for the board?"

He added: "There must be a risk (that Green is still involved). The 18th of December is a lock-in date, I think something will happen that day, I don't know what it is going to be but shareholding will probably move around and so on and it is a matter of public record.

"There must be a risk although he said publicly he is not involved, which is why, when you hear things like last week, you feel a little bit concerned."

Murray and his fellow board hopefuls met with 500 supporters at a gathering in Glasgow last night as the make-or-break shareholder summit draws nearer.

Murray and businessman Jim McColl called for finance director Brian Stockbridge to resign this week, with McColl admitting the Requsitioners had lined up new chief executive Graham Wallace to be part of their team should they win at the AGM.

The Gers have appointed David

Somers as chairman and Norman Crighton as a non-executive director and Murray said: "We are (willing

to work with three new guys). We are taking them at face value."

The other main players in the saga are James and Sandy Easdale, with the Greenock businessmen holding

positions on the board of Rangers International Football Club plc and Rangers Football Club Ltd.

James Easdale has proxy votes over around 25% of shares in RIFC plc and Murray has called on them to lay their cards on the table.

He said: "They represent 24% of the shares but the issue is - I've been asking consistently - I'd have thought they'd want to put to bed once and for all who's behind those two companies (Margarita and Blue Pitch Holdings). The fans have got lots of concerns."
