David Somers follows James Easdale in resigning from Rangers

If one member of the Ibrox
boardroom transcended the others in terms of ignominy, it was David Somers.
Tonight news has broken that an announcement of his resignation is expected to
the LSE in the morning, with pretty much unanimous relief as a result among
supporters.

If it was not his blackmailing
emails to Sports Direct threatening to back out on deals if conditions were not
met, it was the begging ones to various investors, including Brian Kennedy,
which sullied Rangers’ reputation and showed his character for the truly
malevolent one it is.

When it comes to chairmen, he has
to be the single worst in Ibrox history, worse even than the embarrassing
Malcolm Murray, and his line at the AGM professing utter smug arrogance with
the notion that as chairman he could pretty much do as he pleased summed him up.

His disdain and disrespect for
fans was frankly poison, and he is a suit gladly shorn from the Marble
Staircase.
