POLICE are probing a ­graffiti attack on the home of Rangers director James Easdale.

Vandals targeted the ­property in Greenock, Inverclyde, earlier this month.

The words "Get Out" were scrawled on a wall with spray paint, and the abuse is believed to be a response to Mr Easdale's involvement with the Ibrox club alongside his brother and McGill's buses co-owner Sandy.

James Easdale is a director of the Rangers PLC board, while his brother is chairman of the football board. Between them they own almost six per cent of shares, but Sandy holds the voting rights for more than one-quarter of shares, making him a hugely influential figure.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "An incident was reported of some graffiti on the outer wall of a house in Greenock between October 12 and 13.

"No-one has thus far been charged in connection with the incident. Police inquiries are continuing."

James Easdale is currently the longest-­serving Rangers board member following his appointment in July last year. He has a personal stake of 0.7 per cent in the club.

Meanwhile, Rangers have named David Somers as interim chief executive following the departure of Graham Wallace.
