The share price had recently dropped to it's all time low of about 20p, so it might just be a case of the board doing a bit of fire fighting here with Somers and Easdale buying shares. They'll want to kick the share price back up as high as possible before any new issue.

Re: The Sun front page


Cash-strapped Rangers handed their chairman a £20,000 contract - for around FOUR DAYS' work. David Somers netted the lucrative deal when he took up the post despite the club desperately needing to cut costs.

 

The Scottish Sun understands he trousered a whopping £10,000 a month from November 8 to December 31 laste year n- before expenses.

 

And yesterday it emerged the terms of the job were for him to work just ONE or TWO days a month, plus preparation ahead of meetings.

 

It's not known how much work Somers, 65, did in his first two months, though Ibrox chiefs insist he's ended up with "daily" duties.

 

The period covered the club's stormy pre-Christmas AGM when the entire board were booed by supporters.

 

In January, Somers' wages dropped to £5,000 a month - still a cool£60,000 a year.

 

Last night protest group the Union of Fans said they were "astounded". A spokesman added: "It's another example of fans' cash being paid out to benefit the present regime."

 

It comes days after it emerged chief exec Graham Wallace is in line for a bonus that would double his £315,000 salary.

 

A spokesman said: "The contract may have anticipated that level of commitment when Mr Somers joined but he's been working on a daily basis ever since."

If that was the plan then it has worked like a charm because the price is now just below 28p, adding £3m to the market cap of the company in the last couple of days.
