}}Rangers Fans Fighting Fund is a fan raised fund which was created to aid the daily running costs of Rangers Football Club.[2]

History

The Fund was launched on 14 March 2012 by Rangers legends Walter Smith and Sandy Jardine during the clubs administration in order to raise funds to help protect the Club’s future.[3][4] The Fund was endorsed by three of the largest Rangers fans groups, namely the Rangers Supporters' Trust, the Rangers Supporters Assembly and the Rangers Supporters Association.[2] In September 2014, the Fund decided to withhold any payments to the club after requesting and failing to receive adequate assurances from the then Rangers board regarding its future plans[5] It had been reported that the Fund was ready to disband and disburse funds to the club.[6] When the Rangers board agreed to grant Mike Ashley's Sport Direct company security over Rangers Training Centre and Ibrox Stadium in January 2015,[7] the Fund pledged £500,000 of its funding to support the Rangers Supporters' Trust's legal battle seeking to prevent the board from doing so.[8]

In February 2016, the Fund revealed plans to provide £450,000 to build a 264-seater stand at the Rangers Training Centre.[9] On 7 December 2017, Rangers were given the go ahead to build the stand and further dressing room facilities, as well as a classroom area and floodlighting.[10]

Governance

The Fund is overseen by a committee of ten individuals, led by a Chairman.[11]
