FAN ownership group Rangers First have followed the Rangers Supporters Trust's Buy Rangers scheme by crossing the one million share threshold.

The group is nearing 6,500 contributors each making monthly donations which are used to buy shares.

Now they have set their sights on overtaking the 8,500 members currently boasted by the Foundation of Hearts as they target becoming Britain's biggest fan-ownership group.

Rangers First director Ricki Neill said: "We are proud to say that in only six months we have managed to secure over one million shares in Rangers.

"We have many new members joining by the hour and we currently have 6,474 members - with over 4,000 of them joining up this month alone.

"At Rangers First, our main focus is to keep on buying shares in our club so that we can get fans involved with the club.

"Rangers First are hoping to break some records in the next few weeks and become the biggest Fan Ownership group in Britain. I would urge all Rangers fans to have a look at Rangers First."
