DARK clouds overhead and Mother Nature battering the west of Scotland paled in comparison to the Rangers annual general meeting yesterday as it turned into a stormy affair topped with a hate-filled undercurrent.

Over 1,000 shareholders were housed in the away end of Ibrox, with the distance between them and the board significant. 

The members of the Rangers board were certainly expecting the abuse and right on cue as they walked down the stairs to the top table the insults echoed around a stadium which showed clear signs of financial trouble at the club as much as the club’s own accounts do.
