Charles Green: Happy to have received fans backing

More than 300 supporters attended a fans forum at the Govan club on Friday night, which was addressed by Green and Newcastle United managing director Derek Llambias.

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has held talks with the Light Blues over purchasing the naming rights.

Ashley is a Rangers shareholder and his Sports Direct firm is the official retail partner of the Glasgow giants.

A statement on the club's website read: "Following a discussion on the potential commercial opportunities for the club through naming rights, fans gave the go ahead for Green to progress the issue but made clear that any renaming of the stadium should include Ibrox in the title."

Green said: "I am very pleased and heartened by the supporters approach to this issue and we will take things forward as soon as possible."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
