Dave King has offered to personally plug the £3m shortfall in Rangers accounts if the club rips up the deal to play an Old Firm Friendly Down Under.
Record Sport understands the former Ibrox chairman made his pledge to the board over the weekend as fan protests against the controversial Sydney Super Cup proposal spilled onto the pitch at Dens Park, repeatedly interrupting a vital top flight clash with Dundee.
Sources at the club insist King has offered to cover any losses incurred should Rangers withdraw from the four team tournament - including the costs of a potential massive legal bill for breaching a contract signed with the tournament’s Australian organisers.
