CHRIS Graham has resigned as a director of Rangers – just three days after he was appointed.

It comes after he found himself at the centre of controversy after apparently tweeting a sexually explicit cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed.

The image appeared to have been posted by the Rangers fan on the day of the Charlie Hebdo attack and showed a cartoon depicting the prophet engaged in a sex act with the Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks.

Graham, a financial advisor from Kirkintilloch, was appointed as a non-executive director at Ibrox on Tuesday after Dave King swept to power last week.

But in a short statement to the London Stock Exchange this afternoon, the club said: “Chris Graham has tendered his resignation as a Director of Rangers International Football Club. This has been accepted by the board.”

The message accompanying the drawing on the tweet read: “You probably won’t like this one of Prophet Mo” followed by a crude reference to the sex act.

It was sent in reply to a tweet by Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary.

Graham, 38, is known among Rangers fans for his work with the Rangers Supporters Trust and running the Rangers Standard website.
