Where is Dave King and what, if anything, is he up to with regard to Rangers? The former chairman, and still significant shareholder, chose to verbally lay into Rangers’ hierarchy earlier in the season.
Long before the fans unfurled banners deploring the board during the debacle at Kilmarnock a week ago. It could be argued, without much effort, that things have got substantially worse on the domestic front since King cut loose on a public platform.
Philippe Clement has caused one betting firm to open a book on when he gets his jotters. And nothing will mitigate against mayhem breaking out if Rangers contrive to draw with, or lose to, a feckless St Mirren on the rebound from three defeats.
Public opinion has shifted in a way that cultivates fertile ground for anybody seen as being capable of reversing a highly visible decline on the park by smartening up the club’s affairs off it.
