Rangers' plans for a crucial general meeting have been thrown into chaos again after a second hotel pulled out of hosting the event.
The Ibrox board confirmed to the Stock Exchange on Tuesday morning that The Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London would stage the shareholder vote on March 4.
But now the five-star venue has pulled out after deciding the meeting - which could call time on the unpopular regime currently controlling Rangers and hand power to former oldco director Dave King - might "compromise" the security of guests and staff.
It comes just a week after the original host, the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, also pulled the plug on Rangers' hopes to stage the meeting.
Bosses there admitted they were worried it would cause "significant disruption to guests and neighbours" following reports supporters would descend on the venue in their droves to protest against directors David Somers, James Easdale, Derek Llambias and Barry Leach.
A Grange Hotels spokesman said, "There is no question when it comes to the comfort and security of our guests and staff. We do not compromise on this and therefore the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel has declined the opportunity to host the proposed Rangers FC EGM."
