Rangers First.
He joined a group which already
boasts the likes of Jorg Albertz, Nacho Novo, Alex Rae and a clutch of many,

will own their Club.

However, with Rangers lumbering
from one disaster to another, and with a loathed board remaining in place,
there was certainly a niche in the market for a properly-run fan ownership

Do I personally subscribe to RF?
No, because I personally prefer share ownership to be through a broker with a

only 3% off the power to force an EGM.

on the EGM topic. Artemis announced to stockmarket today that they no longer hold shares.
