I'm only joking around, although my brother did say to me "how long before Mather appears in the Record with his hoops on as a kid"

Read the articles with Mather interview quotes. It sounds like one of his parents who was born & raised in Scotland took him to an OF game as a kid, but it doesn't sound like it was to support us.

You Know, I thought I saw green and white hoops under that shirt he wore yesterday.

RANGERS director Imran Ahmad is being forced out of Ibrox after Walter Smith and Ally McCoist were “stabbed in the back” in a series of explosive online rants.

 

Messages posted under a pseudonym on a fans’ website attacked the pair for “trying to take control of the club without putting any money in”. Electronic evidence handed to the club yesterday suggests the messages were linked to Ahmad’s official Rangers email account.

 

Yesterday, an investigation by Rangers It staff centred on a workstation used by Ahmad.

In the latest extraordinary twist in the Rangers crisis, Ahmad – a key lieutenant of ousted chief executive Charles Green – is also being shown the Ibrox door.

 

The club are preparing an “exit package” for Ahmad, who is not expected to be seen again at Ibrox.

The posts – under the pseudonym IamRangers – give a commentary on the power struggle in the boardroom.

 

Among other revelations, IamRangers stated:

 

* Charles Green would return to the club as chairman once he’d “destroyed” Craig Whyte.

* Malcolm Murray wasn’t “chairman material”.

* Murray and Smith were “running Rangers into the ground by not cutting costs at Murray Park from £10million to £5million”.

 

He also expressed a desire to see Whyte “get hot tar all over his b******s after he’s been destroyed in court”.

 

It is understood commercial director Ahmad, who is a major shareholder, will not return to the club after the board were tipped off that the posts on the Rangers Media website were from Ahmad.

 

Last night, a club insider said: “The board are currently investigating. Certainly there is a lot of detailed information in these posts.

 

“Negotiations are being held over a package with a view to Ahmad leaving the business.

“He is still an employee and hasn’t been found guilty of anything but it is unlikely he will be back at Ibrox.”

 

Andy Kerr, of the Rangers Supporters Assembly, said: “If it is the case these postings have come from Mr Ahmad, it is disgraceful and more evidence of the turmoil the club is in.

 

“To stab men like Walter Smith and Ally McCoist in the back is disgraceful given their service to the club.

 

“It’s bad enough when fans are slagging off the club and one another on the internet, so if there is evidence a director has done this he has to go.”

 

The IamRangers username on the Rangers Media forum posted dozens of times over the last month on Green’s issues with the board, possible share purchases, and views on McCoist and Smith.

 

He made his thoughts on Smith and McCoist clear when he said they were “trying to take control of the club without putting any money in”.

 

Another message claimed Green and Ahmad had the ability to call an EGM and sack the entire board if they didn’t get their way.

 

The poster also claims that once Whyte’s club ownership claims have been dealt with, Green will return as chairman.

 

He said: “Green wants to destroy CW first. CG will return as chairman once CW publicly shamed again and this time he’s going to get hot tar all over his b******s after he’s been destroyed in court.”

Another stated: “Not too happy about MM/WS/IH/PC trying to fire CG.”

 

Then he posted news that Greenock bus tycoon Sandy Easdale was poised to buy Green’s shares, adding “29 per cent of the entire issued share capital” in a move that would mean he’d control the club.

The poster says several times that Whyte has forged the documents relating to his appointment as a director of Sevco 5088.

 

He also tries to explain cash sent to Ahmad’s mother’s account by parties connected to Whyte.

On April 19, IamRangers posted that “he believed Ahmad “controls circa 40%- 50% of the company as all the initial investors are his... He’ll then call an EGM and vote the PLC board off”.

On claims that associates of Whyte put money into an account belonging to Ahmad’s mother, IamRangers said: “Whyte was humoured, ie for CVA, Green and Ahmad had to make Whyte believe he was part of process, so they told him to send £500k to a separate account so as not to mix his cash with their cash. Whyte sent £137.5k late, undervalued ie not £500k. Legally that was the end of Whyte’s involvement as he failed at first hurdle.”

 

On Whyte’s claims he owned Rangers through Sevco, the poster said: “These are forged documents. Whyte is just adding to his list of crimes.”

 

The posts are the latest twist in the Rangers saga that this week saw Ahmad and Green reported to the Serious Fraud Office by the company fighting Whyte’s legal battle for control of Rangers.

 

In a statement to the stock exchange yesterday, the Worthington Group, of whom Whyte is a shareholder, effectively declared open war on the pair.

 

Green quit Rangers last week after being confronted over his links to Whyte, and it emerged on Wednesday he wants to sell his shareholding to bus tycoon James Easdale. James’s brother Sandy, who now also owns a chunk of Rangers, has spent time in jail for fraud.

 

The legal battle is likely to focus on the ownership of Sevco 5088 and whether this was the vehicle used to buy Rangers’ assets from administrators Duff & Phelps.

 

Rangers have denied Sevco had been used by Green to buy the club. But Worthington’s letter to the stock exchange would appear to refute this.

lol at registration date. that is easily changed in admin/mod cp.

 

trs: well done for this . I agree totally with your way about it. only a numpty couldnt read between the lines here.

absolutle sham. guy should be out on his 350k arse .

theres fucking loads of ways it could be proved it was ahmed. however I dont think I need to see the proof. ( tho send me his ip /email if ye like)

staff at rm are flapping bigtime. thing is. if someone deliberately changed his reg date chances are the staff ovb knew already. and if it was as simple as linking to his email address then the mods woud av knew as soon as he signed up emails are first thing forum staff check for spammers and known banned people.

Apologies on re-reading my answer it may appear to be rather curt, that wasn't my intention.

 

What I was meaning was that the clue is the linking of the account to his @rangers.co.uk address.

 

I believe the account may well have been a pre existing one used by Rangers and taken over by Imran who probably reset the email preferences to his own address in order to be notified of any pm's to the account.

 

I understood that FS. But I was interested in which individual at the Club set it up in October 2011 and then which individual told Ahmed the username and password. That would be interesting. There must be some earlier posts?

Interesting that the DR have run the story overnight - didn't expect that if I'm honest.

 

Main reason is that the situation is most difficult for RM staff. Not sure it is possible for them to effectively breach the DPA; ergo leaving themselves open to possible litigation from IA.
