Andy Goram has confessed he fears the worst for Rangers if Dave King fails to oust the current board next week and the fans continue their protests against the club's hierarchy.
The legendary former Ibrox goalkeeper believes the Govan outfit could descend into a second administration if the March 6 extraordinary general meeting does not herald a new dawn for the fallen Old Firm giants.
The 50-year-old is concerned the present directors and major investor Mike Ashley will have devised a secret plan to cling on to power and is worried about the consequences should that happen. He said: "The EGM is going to be a massive, massive day. Dave King is supremely confident he's got enough backing to get him into the club.
"But the Ibrox board and Mike Ashley are not just going to roll over and lie down and my fear is they've got something up their sleeve. So, it's going to be interesting. If the present board and Mike Ashley stay in the club, we're stuck with that and we have to live with that. It's not as if we can have a right of appeal; that's us, we're stuck with the board and Mike Ashley, so we've got to go forward with that.
"That will be difficult for the fans to accept but if the board stays in place at Ibrox and Mike Ashley's still there they've already voted with their feet this season. Ibrox has been half full for many games. And if Dave King doesn't get in they might vote even more with their feet and will probably boycott Sports Direct and then that's just a downward spiral.
"Then the money isn't coming into the club and that big bad word administration comes back into it again."
