Douglas Park has stood down as Rangers chairman.
The club leader became chairman at Ibrox at the end of March 2020 and the RIFC Board have unanimously agreed to install the current vice-chairman, John Bennett, as the club’s new chairman. In his time, Park has overseen the club's 55th Premiership league title, the Covid pandemic, a Scottish Cup final and a run to the Europa League final.
But members of the club's hierarchy have been the subject of fan protests in recent weeks. Park said: "It’s been a great honour to serve the club as a director and chairman. During my eight years in office, we endured extraordinary pressures. I am glad we have stabilised and strengthened the club and it is now time for me to hand over the baton to a new chairman for the next stage in the club’s development. I look forward to continuing to attend matches supporting the team, and I wish John and all at Rangers Football Club the very best."
