Rangers chief executive Craig Mather and finance director Brian Stockbridge have held discussions in South Africa with Dave King over the club's future.
King invested heavily during Sir David Murray's Ibrox reign and maintained interest during recent club events.
But issues with South African tax authorities prevented him from playing a more significant role.
King recently agreed to pay almost £44m to the Revenue Service as criminal charges against him were dropped.
A spokesman for the Rangers board told x "Craig Mather and Brian Stockbridge have been meeting a number of investors.
"Craig is returning from South Africa tonight (Monday) and has also been in Dubai. Brian was in South Africa last week."

Everything coming full circle? You couldn't make it up.
Well they need to get serious money from somewhere. It's running out. Another new club will need another three years accounts if they don't save this one. He'll need to get shares for his money.

A remarkable observation during and post the destruction of old RFC was the SPIV language used, by the SPIVs, and readily parroted by the media. Gems such as Green bought "the business and Assets" how can you buy the "business" when the business is bankrupted owing £138m to 276 creditors? Buying the "business" necessitates paying the 276.
Similarly, "he bought the goodwill". This is the biggest laugh. There's zero goodwill in a liquidation situation, only badwill from the shafted creditors.
Likewise, he bought the history. Fascinating concept. Utterly ridiculous of course. How can you buy memories? Or other peoples records?
McCoist, Derek johnstone, Jardine, Hately, . None of them ever played football for this, green's new formed club.
The spiv language "relegated from spl" or "sent down the leagues" is plainly untrue. A lie. Old RFC were still in the spl when green applied for entry. A new club asking to get in. Old RFC even voted as one of the 12 clubs. Rangers and "The Rangers" as they were known for their first few weeks, co-existing at the same time, but completely different entities.
SPIV language by the media. Why bother? Who wants to live in an Indy Scotland run like this?

With Spivs it's all about the sell, the spinning.
McCostly was like mini-me spiv with his hero Green. Parroting Green, it's the same club, it's the same club, it's the same club.
Just because two SPIVS dish up the same patter, doesn't make it true.

Another SPIV lie: "Most successful football club in the world".

Formed in 2012.

Was in a pub in Yorkshire when a 'most successful club in the world' banner came up during UEFA final and people were rolling about laughing.

Don't know how to go about this without getting a hard time but our celtic page is again full sh*te about another team. Just an observation.
Did any1 see Mcgregor scored a double for notts county he's looking good, maybe other youngsters should be looking to go on loan for game time, does any1 know how Tony Watt getting on

Good post mate. I can understand mentioning the big news about them if it affects us in the long term or is genuinely funny but like yourself I'm not in the least bit interested in Sevco's boardroom battle or what that fat sleekit lying c*nts wages where or now are. It's all bullsh*t. Let them get on with worrying about wether their new club is heading for the happy hunting ground or boasting about Lewis Macleod scoring an overhead kick that my old dear could have scored, even with her chronic arthritis.

Tony Watt has 2 goals in 4 appearances at Lierse mate. 1 start and 3 sub appearances. Callum McGregor showed up well against Liverpool in the league cup last month so I'm sure Celtic will be keeping an eye on him. I think Twardzik, McGeouch, Chalmers etc need to go out and get first team experience especially now we have fringe players like Rogic and have beefed up the first team pool with the likes of Boerrigter, Balde etc

Your post just reminded me Jackson Irvine is out on loan. Think it was Killie he went to. I'm going to have a look and see if he's been injured or how he's been getting on because I haven't seen or heard anything on him. What a game he had against Liverpool in the Dublin decider, man of the match for me. He's shown up well whenever I've seen him play so high hopes for him.

A new there was some1 els out on loan couldn't member who, haven't heard much of him though he definitely showed promise in pre season, Watt only a sub a heard somewhere there manager had called him fat and lazy.
McGowan and fat Adam both showed up well on loan at St Mirren probably because they were given the chance

@2 signed out again monkeybhoy

I only saw the walking dead goals as it was on a news channel here in Singapore. Probably get roasted for this but regardless of anything else, I thought macleod's goal was well taken regardless who it was for or against.

@ MonkeyBhoy, Cheers for backing me up mate. I agree that it's funny reading about those zombie clown's antics, but if they see us chatting about them, they start the 'oh you are obessed with sevco' patter! I love getting ripped into them but this full page is about them!
Lets celebrate being scotland most sucessful club and boasting about our money lol

PS did anyone hear Messi sat out the champs league game as he is going to cancel his Barca contract and play for free for the mighty hoops? It's not true but a rumour none the less!

There is an agenda and a wish for everyone to forget, let it be, just move on. That's a con in itself. To conveniently forget all the other cons.
Don't fall for it ever.

Never forget (motto of the Campbell's).

@6 I actually prefer the motto Never Forget, Never Forgive, it seems more apt.

TinyTim I stand by my original comment. It was arguably the easiest overhead kick chance to convert i've seen. Yes he did take it well, smartly if you will but it doesn't get away from the fact it was a simple chance. You are of course entitled to your opinion buddy. Hail Hail

So ogre most vile has invited his etb mate to make the SFA cup draw.
Is there no shame?
How Novo the runt of some Spanish stray dogs litter and tweeter of sectarian insults is allowed to make the draw for Scotland's premier football cup is quite astounding .
Who allowed this decision, have they no shame?.
What next? Finlay to sing the national anthem before the cup final?.TTTS

Two new clubs SEVCO New Rangers and Airdrieonians have been drawn for Scottish cup. Clubs were formerly RFC and Clydebank.

SEVCO drawn at home as usual. Warm and cold balls?
Last year SEVCO got five cups home draws in a row. There's a 3.125% chance of that or 97% it's not possible. Go figure!

Not surprised home draw as with sneaky cancelling Dunfermline game would have meant 5 weeks without revenue

There's no money in cup runs for SEVCO unless they get home drawn. Kinda undermines the whole SFA SEVCO agenda if they get drawn away.

Ogre ville getting put in as boss at SFA for another term is utterly baffling.
Why are the SFA positions not elected by Scottish season book holders?

@5 a don't think that would be entirely fair seen as celtic have the most season book holders by a long way

A quote from today's S*n, ed- i've uploaded a picture too to the sightings page.

"Rangers missed out on a share of £600,000 payout from former TV company Setanta - because technically they don't exist anymore.
Clubs who were part of the SPL between 2009 and 2012 received payments this week as their final dividend for the company going into administration back in 2009.
But Rangers got nothing as they were classed as a club that no longer exists after their liquidation in June 2012."

Thank you S*n Sport for clearing that up!

PS - Before anyone asks, I did not buy this paper! one of the guys in work had it.

I sincerely hope TRIFC take Setanta Administrators to court and we get the issue declared in front of a sitting judge.
Trifc have zero ownership of any video or TV rights of any former RFC games.

You beat me to the punch there Gerry. It's great to see the MSM are now showing they will not be threatened and bullied into towing the party line regarding Scotland's newest club.

Che Connolly.

This New Rangers club has never ever been part of the SPL. They applied to get in and were refused. They applied to get in sfl1 then 2 and were refused. The SFL charitably waived their regulations (three years of audited accounts) and allowed them in sfl3. McCostly and Green went on TV thanking the SFL for allowing them in.
