Rangers fan group lash out at Ibrox board hours before AGM as relations hit new low

The Rangers Fan Advisory Board has unleashed a scathing critique of the club, accusing them of failing to disclose minutes from a meeting with the team's financial chief James Taylor, which came to light just hours before the AGM.

In what appears to be an escalating dispute, the advisory group - which was established as a conduit between supporters and the club's top brass - voiced their discontent in a statement claiming the Rangers leaders did not furnish details of discussions from last month's gathering.

Shareholders of the Rangers are set to convene today at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium for the annual general meeting.

However, tensions have mounted as the FAB expressed their frustration on social media: "We are extremely disappointed that Minutes of a meeting with Rangers CFO James Taylor on Nov 5 have still not been made available by the club, despite our repeated requests."

They continued to highlight the meeting's objectives: "The purpose of the meeting was to raise issues around the club's financial results and provide clarity and context to help in form fan analysis ahead of the AGM.

"Delays in publishing minutes to our meetings are completely unacceptable and we expect the club to move much more quickly in the future to ensure appropriate fan insight."

The row erupts after the club once lauded the significance of the Fan Advisory Board, stating: "The Fan Advisory Board is integral in shaping the future of Rangers, offering critical insights and guidance on key club matters and policies.

"Meeting quarterly with senior club management, the FAB embodies the voices and perspectives of our broader fanbase, ensuring their views are central to our strategic decisions."

The Fan Advisory Board, established last November, features Stuart Langan as Chair, Matt Boyd as Vice Chair, and includes Fahd Ikram Bari, Jamie Cook, Kelly Johnstone, Craig Hannah, and Gary Ralston.

Former chief executive James Bisgrove, who has since moved to the Saudi Pro League after his departure from the club at the end of last season, commented: "The introduction of the Fan Advisory Board is a testament to our commitment to meaningful and structured engagement with the Rangers support."
