Somers' days draw to a close for Scottish club

Another senior figure at Rangers walked from the club’s board of directors yesterday, ahead of Friday’s general meeting.

Non-executive chairman David Somers resigned from his position amid growing speculation that he would have been voted out when shareholders meet at the end of the week.

His departure is similar to that of James Easdale who left last week in the face of growing fan opposition and, with Somers also gone, Dave King is getting closer to seizing control of the Scottish club.
