THE major Rangers fan organisations will have further talks over a potential move to bring them together under one umbrella.

Ibrox director John Gilligan and Managing Director Stewart Robertson held discussions with fan representatives last month and a consensus has been reached that could see the Rangers Supporters' Trust, Assembly, Association, Rangers First and Fans' Board join forces.

The move would not bring an end to the separate entities but could allow resources to be pooled and shared for the benefit of the club.

The proposed new body would have two representatives from Rangers on board, but would be independent from the club and be in a position to buy shares and contribute towards capital expenditure projects.

Rangers First director Ricki Neill told SportTimes: “It won’t mean the groups will merge into one.

“It might be like the Fans Board and there will be representatives from each group and there will be monthly meetings.

“Each group wants the best for Rangers and there will be another meeting soon.

“The Trust and ourselves will have an informal chat as well, not about merging or anything like that but to ensure we are both singing off the same hymn sheet.

“At the end of the day, it is up to the members of both if they ever wanted to merge.

“Rangers First will be an independent group and we might have two people in this working group, if you like. We have still to find out more details.

“Everything we do is run past our members. It is a good setup and the way we will continue.”
