LONDON (Alliance News) - Rangers International Football Club PLC on Wednesday said it has decided to hold its upcoming extraordinary general meeting at its Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow after a second London hotel pulled out of hosting duties, citing "threats from persons unknown".
On Tuesday morning, the club had said it had secured The Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London for March 4 to host the meeting. That came after it was forced to find a new venue to hold the meeting when the Millennium Gloucester hotel said the meeting "cannot be managed without significant disruption to guests and neighbours".
On Wednesday the club said it would hold the meeting at Ibrox, despite having originally attempted to hold it in a venue in London, after the club's last annual general meeting was "disrupted by chanting and other shouting", the club said. It said it had been seeking an alternative venue "where a meeting could be held with more decorum".
But the club said that it would now hold the meeting at Ibrox following "threats from persons unknown" which have forced the Grange Hotel to pull out.
Rangers is set to hold a board meeting to vote on proposals tabled by shareholder Dave King to remove the current board.
