CHARLIE NICHOLAS has admitted he always held suspicions about Dave King - and claimed Rangers' boardroom drama is 'weird'.
The former Light Blues chief announced an immediate end to his time as the Ibrox club's chairman in a statement last week.
His former deputy, Douglas Park, has taken on the role in an interim capacity for now.
In the days since, former Rangers shareholder Jim McColl appeared to suggest he'd been approached by Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, about a potential buy-out.
He has since clarified they are NOT interested, rather that he has held discussions with people about replicating their philosophy.
While Graeme Souness has admitted he would love to return to Ibrox in a boardroom role.
Now, Celtic hero Nicholas reckons the drama in the Light Blues' boardroom has become "weird" as he insisted he always held suspicions about King.
Writing in the Daily Express, he said: "Rangers at boardroom level have now become interesting.
First you have wealthy businessman Jim McColl interested in copying Liverpool’s Moneyball philosophy.
"Then Graeme Souness claims he would love to join the Ibrox board. There is something going on out there
It is all a bit weird that in this time of uncertainty you still have the prospect of investors.
"Change looks to be in the air but can they get it right?
"The chairmanship at Rangers in the past seemed to be like a game of musical chairs.
"They must have run round the boardroom before they decided who will be next.
"I met Douglas Park a lot when I travelled with the Rangers party to cover their Champions League games.
"I don’t think Douglas was ever interested in getting anywhere near as involved as he is.
"Maybe his son would have pushed but now Douglas finds himself as the main man after Dave King stepped down.
"I always had my suspicions about King. What was going on and why did he continually want to fight Mike Ashley?"
