ALEX RAE is confident the Light Blue legions will rally round Rangers once again after Dave King declared victory in the boardroom battle.

The former Ibrox director, alongside Paul Murray and John Gilligan, is edging closer to a seat at the top table as he bids to remove remaining board members Derek Llambias and Barry Leach.

King's confidence of a 'landslide' win has been warmly welcomed by fans and Rae reckons there can be a bright future for his former club once again.

He said: "To a man I think the whole Rangers support will get behind Dave King, Paul Murray and John Gilligan.

"The next few months will be a really important time for the club. It's been rudderless for the last four years.

"No one has known what has been going on and a hell of a lot of money has disappeared out the club.

"But this is a fresh opportunity for this board to come in and start the rebuilding job. And I don't doubt there will be a really big support - if not a sell-out - next Tuesday against Queen of the South.

"This could be the start of something really good. We have already seen the fan base come together and the work of groups like Rangers First and the Rangers Supporters Trust has been incredible."

The arrival of King, Murray and Gilligan at Ibrox would mark a significant moment for Rangers.

But Rae insists it won't signal the end of the hard work that will need done to rebuild the club.

He said: "The picture may seem simpler to some people now that King is in charge but it won't be a quick fix, on the park or off it.

"If you don't have a recruitment department and organisation, then you can't bring in the players you need to challenge Celtic.

"That will all have to be built back up again so there is a lot of work to be done.

"You don't just build up a network of scouts and a list of potential targets overnight. It will take time to identify the right people."
