Bus tycoon James Easdale has resigned as a
Rangers director following opposition from the
Scottish Championship club’s supporters.
.
Easdale was one of four directors who faced being voted off the board at an extraordinary meeting on 6 March.
.
He said that surviving such a vote would be “a hollow victory” without the backing of the fans.
.
Easdale’s brother and business partner, Sandy, is football club chairman and controls more than 20% of club shares.
.
Former Rangers director Dave King, unhappy with the current direction of the club, has been behind a move to remove the current four-man board.
.
He wanted shareholders to vote off Easdale, chairman David Somers, chief executive Derek Llambias and finance director Barry Leach.
