Charles Green has lost his battle with Rangers over payment of his legal fees.
The former Rangers chief executive claimed that the Ibrox club was contractually obliged to pay the costs of his defence for criminal proceedings brought against him.
However, his action has been dismissed by a judge in the Court of Session.
Green was forced to resign as Rangers chief executive in April 2013 when allegations of business links with former owner Craig Whyte emerged, although he denied any wrongdoing. He had also been fined £2,500 by the Scottish FA for making racist remarks in a newspaper interview about his colleague and former commercial director Imran Ahmad.
He left the club four months later after he had his contract as a paid consultant to the club terminated.
Mr Green and a number of others, including the club's former owner Craig Whyte, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court earlier this month charged in connection with the Sevco takeover.
The moves followed a long-running investigation by Police Scotland into events at the club in 2012 and 2013.
