Dave King has sensationally challenged the Rangers board to let the Ibrox faithful decide who runs the crisis-hit club.

Rangers challenged to meeting over chairmanship as Dunfermline give forward chance to impress. Dave King, Rangers' largest shareholder, has challenged the current board to call an emergency meeting to let shareholders decide who should succeed John Bennett as chairman after the South Africa-based businessman's offer to return to the role was given short shrift by fellow directors.

The Gers board will return to the shortlist they had previously drawn up along with a top recruitment firm and hope to have a new man in place as soon as any required notice periods are served. King made his move over the weekend, insisting he was the right man to get Gers back on track after a summer of cock ups and controversy.
