Let's just recap for a moment on Dave King and Rangers, because it is all getting very testy and confusing out there.

King is a solid Rangers fan - there can be no doubts about that. He is also, I believe, supremely wealthy, and there is no sin in that, either.

King, riding some lavish newspaper headlines, also wants to grab power at Rangers. You might have noticed that bit.

He also wants financial restoration at Ibrox. King wants fiscal responsibility. He desires transparency and a new Rangers boardroom which will wield both power and honesty in front of supporters.

Righta€¦so where do we start with this?

In August of last year the South African tax authorities finally caught up with King and indicted him on 41 counts of illegal tax affairs in a high court.

Each guilty plea represented a two-year prison sentence, unless King chose to pay recompense back to the state, which he duly did.

For a number of years King had been chased on other counts, including

This fit and proper stuff - that wouldn't prevent King from having someone he trusts represent him on the board - Richard Gough for instance.

Richard Gough is as about an inappropriate appointment tae a board as Walter Smith was.

When Smith was there he wasn't there in place of someone (who as yet may or may not be) barred was he?

Gough on the Board is as appropriate as Supper Ally in the Dugout imho

The yahoos are bricking it in case anyone who cares about Rangers actually gets inside the boardroom.

IMHO, there is a lot worse has gone on at Parkhead than anything King is alleged to have been involved in.

Why is what may or may not have gone on a any other club be relevant though? Sure;y you need, at this last juncture, someone who can actually b e trustedf for a change?

You've had a succession of spivs through Ibrox's revolving door thisast few years. You need stability, sobriety and trust. Someone boring would be the thing, not yet another rabble-rousing tax dodger...
