Rangers investor Stuart Gibson has backed Stewart Robertson, James Bisgrove and Ross Wilson, saying he believes all three get "a lot of undeserved flack".

The trio have come under fire in recent weeks with Ibrox supporters publically calling for change from the stands.

Director of football Wilson has taken most of the criticism, but Gibson, who is the third biggest shareholder in Govan, told podcast This Is Ibrox he believes he is "doing an excellent job and continues to do so" given the lack of "ample resources" he has to work with.

Gibson points to the big-money sales of Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo as "massive home runs" for the club while also highlighting the unfortunate luck the club has experienced with injuries this season.

Discussing the Sydney Cup, Gibson says, in his opinion, James Bisgrove’s mandate is to explore as many commercial opportunities as he can in whatever way he can. He said: “If we won the league, if we didn’t relinquish the league, I would have been happy to go to Sydney and be happy to take £3million for the pleasure of going out there.

“We never went because other people were in breach of their contractual conditions. The way I see it was, James [Bisgrove] played a blinder. He got a free option to look and see what happens with the league. It gives you the time to get the right information to make the right commercial decision.

“That’s all James did and the flack he was getting, especially from Club 1872, was just absolute nonsense. I think we have senior management at the club who are very much undervalued and under appreciated.”

Gibson also says he believes that there is currently a ‘scarcity of engagement between club and fans’. When asked about Club 1872 and the appearance the relationship between them and the board has broken down, he said: “I was contacted by Club 1872 in the 2021 season and was trying to play the role of peace broker. I passed the relationship on to George Taylor when he joined the board with a view to trying to repair that relationship.

“No one came back to me from Club 1872, George didn’t come back to me either so I assume conversations were happening. I don’t think anything was repaired or anything was fine. Whether anything came out of it, I’m not really sure.

“I think Club 1872 are having their own troubles beyond their engagement with Rangers FC. I think they’ve got their own internal troubles as well that are going on right now. I think there is a lot of noise going on around Club 1872 right now and I haven’t been in touch with them at all in the last 6 or 7 months.

“I don’t think it’s repairable. It’s very sad when you’ve got a supporter base and you’ve got the club and they can’t really talk to each other so do it through the media. I think there is a lot of mistrust that has been built up on both sides so as an outside observer, I just don’t think that trust will be rebuilt. Intuitively, I don’t think it can be repaired.”
