NEW Rangers director Douglas Park has insisted the club should no longer see itself as "victims" now that regime change had been successfully delivered at Ibrox.

Motoring tycoon Mr Park joined Paul Murray and John Gilligan on the new Rangers board which was created on Friday by major shareholder Dave King.

"A new board is being put in place and it is our intention to begin immediately the process of repairing the considerable damage caused to this great club by people who should never have been allowed anywhere near Rangers," said Mr Park in a statement.

"It has been a struggle but some things are worth fighting for and now that Rangers are rid of the last of the previous board we have every right to look forward with hope instead of wondering each day what other outrageous or destructive decisions might be taken.

"This club has been badly neglected and it has been used for the benefit of individuals. There has been an absence of corporate governance and time will be required to study the various contracts and deals which have been put in place.

"If further shocks are lurking among the paper and electronic trails then so be it. They will have to be faced and dealt with appropriately. But the abuse of this club is at an end. Now it is about the future and I believe we can all lift our heads and look forward with optimism."

He said the "days of secrecy" were over and their commitment was "to do what is best for Rangers at all times".

"Scottish football needs a healthy Rangers, a strong and robust Rangers championing our game at home and abroad," he said. "So even though there are obstacles to be negotiated this is not a time for hesitancy or fear.

"This is a time for fresh optimism and belief and if we stand shoulder to shoulder we will not fail."
