Rangers announce Chris Graham has resigned as director

Rangers announce Chris Graham resigns as non-executive director following a controversial tweet related to Islam.

Rangers have announced that Chris Graham has resigned from his position as director following a Twitter controversy.

Widespread reports have claimed that the non-executive director tweeted Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary a picture showing prophet Mohammed engaged in a sex act with Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks.

The message, which was sent around the time of the terrorist attacks in Paris, is the subject of a police investigation.

Today, Rangers confirmed in a statement to the Stock Exchange that Graham has left his role on the board of the Scottish Championship side.

Last week, Dave King and his consortium took control of the club after receiving an 85% vote from shareholders in an extraordinary general meeting.
