STEWART ROBERTSON hopes Rangers will have a voice at Scottish football’s top table sooner rather than later after seeing his bid for an SPFL board berth fall short.
The Ibrox managing director had hoped to oust Mike Mulraney and Eric Drysdale as a Championship representative on the Hampden hierarchy.
But he didn’t receive the required backing from clubs as the status quo remained, with Duncan Fraser, Eric Riley, Stephen Thompson and Ken Ferguson also retaining their seats.
Robertson said: "Having stood for election the result of the vote is very disappointing.
"However, I would like to thank those who did vote for me and I hope that by standing for election Rangers' commitment to engage with the football authorities has been demonstrated.
"With a new Board in place at Ibrox we have a lot to offer the broader church of Scottish football.
"It is reasonable that a club of Rangers' size should have a voice and we will try again next year.
"Right now, though, we are looking forward to the start of the new season."
