Mike Ashley wins battle for Rangers voting rights
The Newcastle United and Sports Direct owner was granted an interim interdict by the Court of Session, forcing Rangers to remove a resolution from this Friday’s annual general meeting which, if passed, would have removed voting rights from any shareholder involved in the management of administration of another club.
Rangers and Ashley, who has a stake of just under nine per cent in the Scottish Championship leaders, were both previously fined by the SFA for breach of dual interest regulations.
