John Greig MBE, voted by supporters as "The Greatest Ever Ranger" in 1999, joined the club's board on Boxing Day 2003.

Greig made over 850 appearances for the Light Blues, won the domestic Treble three times and was club captain in 1972 when Gers clinched the Cup Winners' Cup in Barcelona with a 3-2 victory over Moscow Dynamo.

John also scored 120 goals during his time at Ibrox, a remarkable record for a man that spent most of his career playing in midfield or defence!

Former Chairman John McClelland said: "I am absolutely delighted that John has accepted my invitation to join the Board. 

"He brings with him a lifetime of experience in football and in particular a passion for Rangers Football Club that is unequalled.

"John's advice and counsel will mean a great deal to me and other Board members as we continue to pursue all that is best for Rangers Football Club.  

"As a Board member he will continue to represent the Club as one of its finest ambassadors. It will be a great privilege to have John as part of the team at Board level."

Greig, who almost won the Treble in his first season as Rangers manager, said: "This is a great honour for me and I am delighted to accept the invitation.

"I have had the privilege of serving the Club in several capacities over a long number of years and I hope I can help bring further success in the future as I know how much the Club means to all our supporters."
