Mike Ashley free to vote at Rangers AGM after successful court action

Rangers said the resolution was intended to afford them protection against breaking SFA rules.

Newcastle owner and Rangers shareholder Mike Ashley has succeeded in court action to remove a resolution relating to dual interests from the Ibrox club’s annual general meeting.

Rangers confirmed that Ashley’s Mash Holdings company, which has a nine per cent stake in Rangers, had partly won legal action at the Court of Session in Edinburgh last week, securing an interim decision to withdraw one resolution from Friday’s meeting, but failing on two other counts.
