Internet bampot Ahmed faces Ibrox axe

Imran Ahmed is facing the axe from the Ibrox boardroom after being uncovered on a fans forum.

Under the user-name of IamRangers a number of allegations have been made about Ally McCoist and Walter Smith with the electronic trail believed to lead back to commercial director Ahmed.

If he is axed from the board it leaves the remaining directors in an isolated position with two of the clubs major shareholders, Ahmed and Charles Green, on the outside looking in on crucial decision making.

By posting particularly detailed information critical of key figures at the club IamRangers drew attention to his postings sparking an enquiry inside Ibrox with most football clubs keeping an eye on popular forums and websites to keep a check on supporter opinions.

Ahmed’s departure looks like more than a co-incidence coming a week after Green stepped down as chief executive with fresh controversies arising on a daily basis at the Third Division champions.

An internal investigation is underway to examine links between Mr Green and Craig Whyte with the former billionaire from Motherwell ordering a Serious Fraid Squad investigation into the actions of Mr Green and Mr Ahmed.

That investigation centres on the ownership of Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park with even the directors of Rangers International unclear over the ownership of the stadium they play at.

Waiting nervously in the background the SFA have asked for further information about links to Mr Whyte who has been banned for life from Scottish football as well as having an unpaid fine of £250,000 for non-payment of social taxes.
