Rangers have confirmed the voting totals on the eight resolutions at yesterday's AGM.

The club put seven ordinary motions to shareholders with one special resolution voted upon and requiring an increased 75 percent backing threshold.

Normal resolutions, one through seven, only need a majority backing to be passed.

Rangers had announced last night that all eight resolutions were backed by shareholders despite concerns over motions two, seven and eight.

Dave King and Club 1872 had revealed their opposition to Douglas Park's re-appointment to the board.

They had also confirmed they would not back resolutions seven and eight regarding the allotment of new shares and shares to favoured investors.

However, shareholders did just back resolution eight - while Park's re-appointment and resolution seven achieved a comfortable majority.

Chariman Park received a 73.4 percent backing to be re-appointed to the board.

Resolution seven on the allotment of equity received 76.1 percent support from shareholders - well above the required majority backing.

However, resolution eight only just passed. The special resolution allows for the directors to hand-pick investors. It required 75 percent support and was passed hitting 75.5 percent backing from shareholders.
