RANGERS fans last night called on controversial director Sandy Easdale and the board to come clean over fears surrounding the make-or-break Ibrox AGM.

It was confirmed this week that Easdale has increased his stake in RIFC plc to 5.21% after buying a further 1.2million shares.

Easdale has control over another 20.94% of secret proxy shares - and that would give him the power to veto proposals at the AGM that could see more shares issued in a bid to solve Rangers' cash crisis. Representatives of potential Ibrox investor Dave King have sought clarity from chief executive Graham Wallace and finance director Philip Nash over what will be on the table at what is likely to be another stormy shareholder summit.

Rangers have yet to say when they will publish year-end accounts or hold their AGM.

Now fans fear investors such as King could be blocked from ploughing millions of pounds into the club.

Union of Fans spokesman Chris Graham said: "We would ask Mr Easdale to confirm that he and his associates will not oppose any resolution at the AGM which would allow fresh investment from those who care about the future of our club.

"If Mr Easdale ignores this request or refuses to answer unequivocally then we will recommend what course of action we believe fans should take.

"We are also concerned at newspaper reports that the annual accounts and therefore the AGM may be delayed.

"We would ask the PLC board to clarify if this is the case and to explain why, after what they described as a successful fundraising, there would be any reason to delay accounts publication."

Rangers have repeatedly refused to confirm who is behind the likes of Beaufort Nominees, who invested during Charles Green and Imran Ahmad's time at Ibrox and have handed their proxy votes to Easdale.

Easdale, under pressure over his relationship with convicted fraudster Rafat Rizvi, has faced repeated fans' calls for him to be axed from his position on the Football Board.

Graham said: "Our concern is that Mr Easdale will continue to act in the interests of those shareholders and ahead of the interests of the wider shareholder base and the club itself.

"We feel Mr Easdale should be removed as a club director, but the PLC board appear to be unwilling to enact that change. Regardless, Mr Easdale is in a position, with the backing of shareholders who appear desperate to withhold their identities, to block much-needed investment into Rangers."
