Possibly connected to this by any chance? https://stv.tv/news/west-central/1388301-craig-whyte-trial-social-media-post-probed-by-police/ Craig Whyte trial: Social media post probed by police Officers are investigating an online comment sent during court proceedings. A social media post made by a member of the public during the trial of former Rangers owner Craig Whyte is being investigated by police. The probe has been launched after an online comment was made during proceedings at the High Court in Glasgow last week. Whyte is on trial accused of one charge of fraud and one of breaching the Companies Act in connection with his May 2011 takeover at Ibrox. He denies the allegations. Police said they were looking into the social media post. A spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that Police Scotland are investigating the circumstances to establish any criminality."

Now two further directors have resigned, blaming King's puppet director and club secretary, James Blair. Interesting, so not only could the guy be accused of having a massive conflict of interest being on the Club 1872 board as well as the Rangers board, but he also has sole access to the Club 1872 bank account? I'm sure King is delighted with that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
