New Ibrox chief issues warning to ‘the enemies’
Despite a number of concessions made towards the newco and a plan to place them in the SPL then First Division there is a widespread belief that somehow the Ibrox side were given a tough time by the football authorities.
The terms of the secretive five way agreement that provided the club with associate membership has yet to be revealed with Mather fuelling the notion that the club was wronged by the events of last summer.
Speaking to a gathering of supporters in California the official club website reported Mathers as telling fans: “There will be times when you want us to tackle our enemies and it will seem like we’re somehow reluctant to do so or that we don’t care.
“You might believe we don’t feel hurt to the same extent as you but I’m here to tell you we do.
“Sometimes you have to wait. We have chosen and we will continually choose the right moment to strike.
“Please, please never believe that I or any other directors don’t know the names of the people who have tried to damage this club. We know all of them.
“We know what each one tried to do and I can assure you we will never, ever forget about that.
“Rangers is on its way back now and it’s more alive and united than ever. These gatherings show that and you are powerful proof of that.”
Mathers was brought to the club by Charles Green, snapping up £1m of shares at 1p each before the December floatation that valued shares at 70p.
