Rangers takeover: Don't exclude fans from negotiations, urges supporters' chief

RANGERS fans must be consulted over a change of ownership at the club, the spokesman for a supporters' group said today.

The club today confirmed that majority shareholder Sir David Murray was in talks with a property developer over a sale of his stake.

Stephen Smith of the Rangers Supporters Trust told Sky Sports: "They need to talk to the support, they need to talk to the Trust, the Rangers Assembly and Rangers Association and to get the fans to invest and become a major stakeholder.

"There is a great capacity for that.

"What we don't want is the transfer of Rangers from one rich man to another rich man or a group of rich men and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"We have to make sure this doesn't happen again and the only to do that is to diversify the share ownership of the football club."
