Dave King's Rangers Sydney Super Cup cash offer rejected by Ibrox board

Davie King's Rangers offer to cover the costs of withdrawing from the Sydney Super Cup. has been knocked back.

The former chairman said he'd stump the cash to cover the shortfall caused by pulling out of the controversial tournament.

The Ibrox board have been heavily criticised for their involvement in the competition later this year, which will see them take on Celtic for the first time ever outside of Glasgow.

Marketing chief James Bisgrove claimed that the financial reqard on offer was greater than what the Gers would get for winning the Premiership title.

It has been billed as a homecoming for Ange Postecoglo and Rangers supporters are furious at their club’s decision to take part.

And now the Glasgow Times say Douglas Park and the Rangers board have made the decision not to take King up on his offer.

They are looking at other ways to navigate the controversial situation as they look to end the row with fans.

King had offered to cover the cost of Rangers backtracking from their deal.

It came after Rangers supporters caused disruption during their game with Dundee last weekend.

Fans have protested at every game since the decision was made with regular chants and banners at matches.

But they took it one step further by throwing streamers and tennis balls onto the pitch to try and stop them.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men face Celtic next weekend in a crunch Premiership clash, before a Europa League quarter final with Braga.

And they’ll be desperate to ensure the fans are fully behind their team for the game during a huge month in the season.
