Rangers directors Paul Murray, Barry Scott resign

Rangers directors Paul Murray and Barry Scott have resigned.

The club confirmed that the pair have left the club’s board with immediate effect, with the news coming a day after Steven Gerrard confirmed he was in talks over becoming the new Rangers manager.

Murray was a key figure in helping current chairman Dave King take over the club in 2015, while Scott joined the board last December.

“Paul has been a director since March 2015 and played an important role at that time in helping oust the previous Board and restore the Club to the hands of those who have its best interests at heart,” Rangers said in a statement.

“Paul has served with distinction as a director since that time and all at Rangers are very grateful for his efforts. We look forward to welcoming him again as a supporter.

“Barry joined the Board more recently and his enthusiasm and drive were welcome. The Board knows it will continue to enjoy his support and appreciates the commitment he has shown to the Club.”

Rangers currently sit third in the Scottish Premiership table, three points behind second-placed Aberdeen.
