John Gilligan tells Dave King to shut up and behave like 'a proper shareholder' as Rangers row escalates

John Gilligan has told Dave King to “behave like a proper shareholder” after shooting down his claims Rangers are in crisis.

Speaking publicly for the first time since stepping in as interim chairman following the resignation of John Bennett, the 72-year-old wrote off his former Ibrox comrade’s chances to return as top dog as “unrealistic”.

And Gilligan assured the Gers faithful that fresh investment would be incoming under the current regime after King claimed last week that it would take £50m to meet short and medium term objectives.

King - who still holds a 14 per cent stake in Rangers - last week claimed Rangers were “in crisis” and said influential board members wouldn’t want him back because they know he “wouldn’t tolerate board members who are only in it for the ‘jacket and tie’ and don’t actually want to do any real work”.
