RANGERS fans have vowed to step up their protests at the under-fire Ibrox board after another demonstration on Saturday.
Several hundred supporters from the Sons of Struth group gathered ahead of the Gers' 2-0 SPFL League One victory over Airdrieonians, displaying banners and chanting 'sack the board' and 'spivs out'.
Rangers' future will be decided at their AGM on December 19 and there will be no let up from furious fans as they turn up the heat on the Ibrox board.
SoS chief Craig Houston told SportTimes: "I have been actively contacting the club for weeks now to try and get some dialogue between the club and the Sons of Struth.
"We had previously stated that if the AGM date was confirmed and the faceless investors were revealed then we would call off any further protests.
"Due to the reluctance of the club, we will carry on with our protests until the AGM.
"I was delighted with the numbers that turned out on Saturday.
"I looked behind us as we turned the corner at the John Greig statue and there was a lot of bodies between the front and back of the group.
"If supporters believe in what we are saying
and want change then
we would urge them to join us and protest
with us.
"We hope to have even greater numbers at every game between now and the AGM.
"There will be activity outwith games between now and the AGM and there will be further
protests at the games as well.
"We need as many like-minded people to stand up and find their voice. We need to let the shareholders know what the fans are thinking."
Rangers last week
announced the appointment of David Somers as non-executive director and acting chairman as the board attempt to bolster their ranks ahead of the make-or-break shareholder summit next month.
Somers joins finance director Brian Stockbridge and Greenock businessman James Easdale at the Ibrox top table, with the search ongoing for a replacement for
ex-chief executive Craig Mather.
Blue Knights leader Paul Murray, former Gers chairman Malcolm Murray, Scott Murdoch and Alex Wilson all hope to win places on the board next month.
And Houston hopes there will be no additions to the Ibrox hierarchy
before shareholders have had their say.
He said: "We don't see the need for further
appointments before the AGM.
"The board should be able to run with the
numbers they have at present.
"We believe they are trying to fill the board with as many of their own men as possible so that, regardless of the outcome of the AGM, they will still have a presence.
"As a group, we want nobody from the current board involved after the AGM."
