Former Rangers chairman Sir David Murray has revealed that he is confused by recent claims from board member Dave King.

Earlier today King was critical of Murray for selling the club to Craig Whyte and vowed to sue the 60-year-old.

However, Murray has insisted that he intends to contest any legal action that King attempts to take.

"We note with some interest, and much incredulity, Dave King's press statement. It is difficult to understand his motives, given he has been a director of Rangers Football Club since the year 2000," Murray said in a statement via a spokesperson.

"In the event that he actually lodges a claim, we would vigorously defend it. Murray Group fully intends to make further detailed press comment on the wider circumstances at Rangers Football Club once it considers this will not detract from or interfere with the difficult and delicate work of the administration.

"It is deeply regrettable and hugely saddening for all the employees and supporters that the club finds itself in its present situation."

The administrators in charge of Rangers are reportedly close to reaching a decision as to whether or not there will be redundancies at Ibrox.
