It was a thrilling moment for South African-based businessman King a year on from leading the boardroom coup which transformed the club’s fortunes. He told Rangers TV: “It was absolutely astonishing. When we were up there after the final whistle, I saw grown men cry. There were tears rolling down the faces of every single board member. I think every single director, including me, was in tears and as we looked at each other and hugged each other. Everyone was crying.”
