SFA chief Stewart Regan hopes the end of the boardroom battle at Ibrox will bring 'stability' to Rangers and allow the club to get into 'positive shape' once again.

Former Light Blues director Dave King will complete his top table coup today when Derek Llambias and Barry Leach are removed from office.

The South Africa-based businessman confirmed on Wednesday that Paul Murray will be appointed as interim chairman before he assumes the top job after, he hopes, passing all regulatory requirements.

The SFA 'fit and proper' guidelines are one hurdle that stands in King's way but they will not prevent him completing his mass clear out of the Ibrox boardroom having already seen James Easdale and David Somers head for the exit door.

Businessman John Gilligan will also climb the Marble Staircase as a lengthy battle for control at Ibrox comes to an end.

And Hampden chief executive Regan knows the moves will be welcomed by the long-suffering Light Blue legions.

He said: "We're part way through a process which involves a meeting [today].

"We're talking about a PLC and matters affecting a PLC so I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment on those sorts of corporate affairs.

"In the event there are changes [today] it will be up to the club to make representations to the Scottish FA and we will deal with it as and when that happens.

"For Rangers fans in particular and for all of those that are watching what's gone on over the last three years, I think it's important that there is stability and harmony, and that whoever leads Rangers can actually get on with doing that and try and get the club back into some kind of positive shape again."
