The Scotsman hasn’t informed its readership of the political background of new Ibrox director, David Joseph Graham.

On Wednesday the PR chief was promoted onto the board of directors- less than two years after serving as a DUP councillor on Belfast City Council.

During his time working for the DUP he hadn’t given off any indication that he would be capable of leading the ‘Anyone, everyone’ inclusivity project which was launched by the Ibrox club in response to two partial closures of Ibrox by UEFA for racist actions by supporters.

This season Graham introduced the policy of getting media groups to pay for standard pre and post-match access. The Scotsman Group has relied on picking up quotes from social media.

This afternoon, The Scotsman reported:

Rangers have added David Graham and Kenny Barclay to their board of directors. A statement from the club confirmed that the duo have been appointed, with George Letham – who only joined the board at the beginning of 2021 – standing down.

Graham, who held a role as head of communications at the club, moves up to communications director, while Barclay will take up a position as finance director.

A piece on the Rangers website read: “Rangers can today confirm the appointment of Kenny Barclay as Finance Director and David Graham as Communications Director to The Rangers Football Club Board of Directors.

“These fresh appointments will provide further energy and drive to our club, as we enter our 150th Anniversary Year. Furthermore, we are very grateful to George Letham for his services to TRFC board during a crucial period in our Club’s history.

“George played a key role in the management of the impact of Covid-19, and although he is stepping down from this role, he will continue as a trusted adviser.”

There was no tribute to Letham on the club website and tellingly he gave no endorsement towards his replacements.

Leithan was only promoted onto the board in January of this year, it is believed that he invested £4.5m with his shareholding being rapidly diluted.

    Drug money, sectarian money coming from a paramilitary group, tax evasion , incorporation of a paramilitary individual on to their board and the evasion of all responsibilities to those who were shafted by the liquidation of the previous incarnation. What an aberration this club is! No wonder they are detested all over Europe!!
    The fact that the SFA and the Scottish Establishment allow this to happen and that the Scottish media do not condemn it, tells you all you need to know about them. Scottish football is corrupted by this club and their friends in the Establishment and the media. Scotland is not a democratic and fair country.
