Mark Warburton’s Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers were demolished in the Old Firm.
Andy Walker has told Sky Sports that he is unsure whether Rangers chairman Dave King has honoured the financial commitment which he pledged over two years ago.
Rangers were destroyed 5-1 at Old Firm rivals Celtic on Saturday in a result which seemed to illustrate a huge gap between both Glasgow rivals.
Mark Warburton signed 12 new players during the summer transfer window but, aside from minimal compensation, transfer fees were not paid out for the most part.
In March 2014, King claimed via The Mail that he would personally contribute £30 million of a £50 million sum which he says was needed to get Rangers back competing at the high end of the Scottish Premiership once again.
But it remains to be seen whether the South Africa-based businessman has made good on that promise, and Walker believes that he hasn’t.
“Rangers chairman Dave King promised an investment of between £30m and £50m when he was attempting to gain control of the then Championship club in 2015 but with the summer transfer window long gone, he has not provided any significant sum to date,” ex-Celtic man Walker told Sky Sports.
At the time, King spoke as if it was a four-year plan, and it’s only been two years, but the chairman may need to accelerate it and begin investing.
As Saturday proved, there is seemingly a major gap which Rangers need to bridge before they can dream about winning a Premiership title again.
