Contrary to reports suggesting that Imran Ahmad is trying to block a Dave King takeover of Rangers, my information is that Ahmad is happy to sell his shares to King and that the two are in discussions over it.

My understanding is that Ahmad can deliver shares to King that will help give him 29.9%, thus giving him a big say in matters Rangers.

Imran is understandably unhappy at the way he is being portrayed as a villain in the ongoing Rangers saga and is keen to find a buyer who will be a safe custodian of the club’s future.

Most Rangers fans would agree that Dave King fits that category and so it would be a great thing if the South African-based businessman could get such a substantial block of shares.

If so, it looks likely that the Rangers board will then include King and James Easdale as the Easdales are also increasing their shareholding in Rangers.

It must be emphasised that the Easdale brothers are bluenoses who have Rangers’ best interests at heart. 

Along with the young turks such as Craig Mather and Brian Stockbridge, the Rangers board could be a powerful force moving forward, particularly if Walter Smith stays on in a non-exec role, something far more likely with King’s presence in the boardroom.

After turbulent times, the future is looking rosy at Ibrox, especially with the news that Malcolm Murray will be forced out after all the recent shenanigans.
