John Greig and John McClelland, Rangers'  non-executive directors, have stepped down from their posts at Ibrox.

The duo claim that following Craig Whyte's takeover of Rangers in May they have been increasingly ostracised and isolated. The resignations come one week after finance director Donald McIntyre also stepped down from his place on the board.

A statement issued read:

"These resignations have been communicated by letter to the chairman, Craig Whyte.

"Both were of the opinion that since the change in ownership they have been excluded from participating in corporate governance at the club."

Greig captained Rangers in the 1960s and 1970s, including reaching the finals of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1972. Greig also managed Rangers between 1978 and 1983.

Rangers, although leading second place Motherwell by 7 points, are having problems off the pitch, with two separate tax disputes and former chief executive Martin Bain suing the club for £1.3m for unfair dismissal.

McClelland was chairman between 2002 and 2004.
