Greig and McClelland resign from Rangers board

John Greig and John McClelland have resigned as non-executive directors of Rangers Football Club PLC.

The news was confirmed in a statement released to the Press Association which claimed they have been isolated following Craig Whyte’s takeover of the Ibrox club in May.

“These resignations have been communicated by letter to the chairman, Craig Whyte,” read the statement.

“They result from John McClelland and John Greig both being of the opinion that since the change of ownership they have been excluded from participating in corporate governance at the club.

“Therefore they have decided not to continue in their positions as non-executive directors.”
