Rangers directors enjoy salary hike despite club posting rising losses Martin Williams @Martin1Williams Senior News Reporter Rangers directors enjoy salary hike despite club posting rising losses The overall pay packages of the Rangers’ two executive directors has risen by more than £60,000 in total on the year before, while the club made a net loss of £6.7 million last season. The 16 per cent rise comes while losses for the year ending June 30, 2017 were double that of the previous campaign. Managing director Stewart Robertson was the biggest beneficiary. His earnings came to a total of £281,000 in the last year, which includes a £64,000 bonus and means his pay package increased by £52,000. The earnings of the former Motherwell secretary and director, include a £215,000 basic salary and £2,000 benefits in kind, making him the highest earning director of the football board. Finance director Andrew Dickson secured a total pay package of £174,000 for the year. This was made up of a £131,000 basic salary with a £28,000 bonus and £13,000 in pension contributions with £2,000 benefits in kind. Overall his pay package rose £16,000. There had been widespread criticism over the salaries paid to directors and staff under previous ownership regimes at Rangers. When South Africa-based businessman Dave King swept to power to take over at the club two years ago it was stated that no remuneration would be paid to directors of Rangers International Football Club plc, the holding company and investment vehicle. Both Mr Robertson and Mr Dickson are the only paid directors of the Rangers International Football Club subsidiary, the club’s operating company, The Rangers Football Club Ltd, which is responsible for the club’s day-to-day business. Mr Robertson was placed in control of day-to-day running of the club off the pitch three years ago, and just 24 hours after Mark Warburton was installed as firstteam manager. Last year there was criticism when it was revealed that former chief executive Graham Wallace who resigned in October, 2014 after 11 months in the position, earned £225,000 in his final four months at the helm in the year to June, 2015. Mr Wallace was understood to have been earning £315,000 a year with a 100 percent bonus but before he left, it was thought that he had had a scaled down cash payment of £100,000 ratified by the then board's remuneration committee. He was brought in as the chief executive, in November 2013, by the then plc chairman David Somers to lead the restructuring of the club. But he was criticised by the fans for failing to reveal the true state of the club’s fragile finances. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/16032171.Rangers_directors_enjoy_salary_hike_despite_club_posting_rising_losses/

We will probably have Pena back next xmas or have to give him a free.

Once McCrorie and Jack are back I doubt Goss and Docherty will be playing together. They are not good enough defensively.

It was a stonewall penalty for me. His hand was well above his head.

Martin was a nightmare today causing at least 2 of there goals

To be fair Murty also said Windass should not get the first goal.

Welcome mate I hope you enjoy on here.

Since when did players accept a first offer? That is why they call it negotiating.

I wonder who Vignal was watching. They see Hardie every day in training so I guess it wasn't him.

I managed to find in the EPL that you can recall a player after 4 weeks. I don't know if that is the same in the SPFL. I also learned you can loan 2 players to one lower league team but only 1 to a SPFL team.

Is there a reason we should not be okay with it Ian. It is a Rangers player. As long as the video sources don't turn into another sort of Ryan Hard ie.

@scottishfsa The Line up of scouts @LivingstonFC v @saintmirrenfc game today #interesting

From what I have read it was a impact injury and nothing to do with his old injury.

Every product has a sell by date. Time to move on to younger talent.

If Rangers want it he will be at Ibrox until 2021. Before that it will be mutual agreement.

You don't get stuff like this in the Sun or record. Stick to football forums.

Are you still on to this Dondarrion,

No Krankie about the skelpies.

Is that the two dwarfs who do Pantomime? Do they live in Falkirk?

Due to financial troubles I think they have cut right back. They have dropped their academy to go for picking up players discarded from other teams. That puts huge pressure on the scouting system so they will have to be top notch there or they will go down hill quickly.

Every period throws up people we call good managers. Hopefully rangers will go on for 1055 and have many good managers. They may be watching robots then right enough.

Personally I just think Collum is a crap referee. I watched him refereeing an Aberdeen game last season, against Thistle, I think, and he was hopeless in that as well. He got a 4 game ban to the lower leagues for it. I am not so sure he is really biased against Rangers,just a crap referee as I say.

Alec McPudden. He is better than all the other puddens.

Ladbrokes Premiership - Saturday Hibernian v Aberdeen - Andrew Dallas Motherwell v Kilmarnock - Steven McLean Partick Thistle v Dundee - Willie Collum Ross County v Heart of Midlothian - Craig Thomson (Sky Sports, 12.30pm) Ladbrokes Premiership - Sunday Celtic v St Johnstone - John Beaton Hamilton Academical v Rangers - Bobby Madden (Sky Sports, 2.15pm) Bobby madden,
