Rangers supporter group Club 1872 have claimed that former chairman Dave King has informed them of rising concerns within Ibrox.
Fan tension is growing as performance and results on the park wane, with a 1-1 draw at home to Livingston on Saturday leave them four points off the pace in the Premiership. Their return to the Champions League group stages has also proven disastrous while a few directors have left their posts, on top of lamented summer recruitment work.
King is committed to completing a multi-million pound deal with the fan group that will see Rangers supporters increase their shareholding in RIFC plc but current leader Douglas Park have refused to communicate with Club 1872 in recent years. But now the group have hit out in a fresh statement: "In March 2022 the Club 1872 Board released a statement which was heavily critical of the Executive Management Team at Rangers and their running of the club.

"Our view has not changed and it is clear that concerns about the club’s current trajectory are growing within the Rangers support. The RIFC Board continues to refuse to engage with Club 1872 as it has done since the moment Dave King departed as Chairman over two and half years ago.
"We would welcome a reversal of that policy. Club 1872 functions, in part, to facilitate dialogue between the custodians of Rangers Football Club and the support.
"We strive to seek answers on behalf of our contributors and the wider support and will continue to do so. We recently met with Dave King, who has a number of concerns of his own about the way in which the club is being managed.
"He has articulated some of those concerns publicly but he has also informed us that they have increased following conversations he has had in recent weeks.
