Douglas Park keeps Rangers chairman position despite Dave King and Club 1872 challenge

Douglas Park will stay on as Rangers chairman after all resolutions at the club AGM were approved.

Leading fan group Club 1872 and former chief Dave King voted against the re-election of the motor group tycoon - who has been in his position for the last two years. However, the majority decided to stick by the current chair after a period that has included a run to the Europa League Final, ending Celtic's 10 in a row bid to lift the Scottish Premiership title and a Scottish Cup success.

A club statement read: "The Board of Rangers International Football Club PLC is pleased to confirm that all resolutions presented at today’s Annual General Meeting were approved by shareholder vote.

"This successful outcome will assist the club with its ambitious investment plans, on and off the field of play.

"Full details of the shareholder vote shall follow."

Speaking last month about his decision to vote against Park, King said: “What I would say is I’m not voting for that. The situation is recoverable.

"I think we can be back winning the title, but the way things are going at the moment, unless changes are made to the leadership of the board and the executive of the club, I fear we’ll be stagnating for a long time to come.”
