Dave King was the man who set Rangers on the road to 55. But the former chairman fears the directors he left to run the Ibrox boardroom are leaving the path clear for Celtic to march on to 57 and beyond.
When King successful snatched control of the Light Blues away from Mike Ashley in 2015, the name of the game was all about halting the Hoops’ charge towards 10 successive titles. It took six years but Gers finally got the better of their bitter rivals as Steven Gerrard’s Invincibles delivered the crown the Ibrox faithful had been longing for.wasn’t at Ibrox to see the wild celebrations unfold, however. He had stepped down the year before in order to focus on protecting his South African businesses from the Covid pandemic. The breakneck speed of his departure shocked his former allies and some remain as furious today about being left in the lurch with a multi-million pound hole in the balance sheet as they did back when he announced his resignation as chairman on March 27, 2020.
