RANGERS FIRST spokesman Ricki Neill hopes Dave King and Mike Ashley can settle their Ibrox dispute around the negotiating table – and not back in the courts.
Ashley was last week successful in a legal bid that will prevent shareholders voting on Resolution 11 at Rangers' AGM on Friday morning.
Chairman King and his fellow directors were seeking shareholder approval for the motion that would have limited Ashley’s influence at Ibrox after the Gers were fined by the SFA for a breach of dual interest rules earlier this year.

The Newcastle United chief has launched a legal bid against the SFA over the case and has also taken action against King for allegedly breaching the gagging order relating to the merchandise contracts in place between Sports Direct and Rangers.
Supporters continue to boycott Sports Direct and official retail outlets but Neill admits it will come down to King to strike a compromise with the billionaire businessman following the latest twist in the Ibrox tale.
He told SportTimes: “Rangers fans know that Ashley will look to use every method he can and put every obstacle in front of us that he can. 
“I think Mike Ashley and Dave King need to sit down and sort this out. It can’t be a personal thing and I don’t think Ashley will give up. 
“Ashley is one of the major shareholders and he has got the money to take it as far as he wants. We need to get this sorted for the benefit of Rangers. 
“Mike Ashley is obviously a very ruthless businessman and a very wealthy man but hopefully he sees the benefit of playing ball with Rangers.

“The fans are a massive part of the club and will be going forward and they will continue to have their say through the various groups.
“I wonder how much Ashley worries about the boycotts and protests but I admire the efforts of the Sons of Struth and supporters to highlight the situation with Ashley.
“Everything the fans do plays a part and hopefully one day there is a fans representative on the board. We need to prevent this situation ever happening again.”
Ashley saw his bid to remove Resolutions 9 and 10 from the order of business at the AGM rejected at the Court of Session.
His success to block the vote on the final motion is a blow to the Gers board, though, and a statement to shareholders read: “Although the decision has been made on an interim basis only until the Petition can be fully considered by the Court, this means the Resolution will not be presented to the meeting and shareholders will not be afforded the opportunity to vote upon it. The Company will now consider how best to proceed.”
