John Brown
I have more than 45 years of experience in professional football as a player, scout, coach and manager with Hamilton Accies, Dundee and Rangers and I’m now a proud Rangers Ambassador.
It was a genuine honour and privilege for me to play for the club during the 9-in-a-Row era and I have cherished memories of pulling on the famous blue jersey and playing in front of the fans at Ibrox and on the road.
Rangers is my club but most importantly it’s your club and, like you, I’ll be a supporter until the day I die.
I’ve been involved with Club 1872 since the very beginning and I was proud to launch the organisation when it started as Rangers First.
Fans united behind the common goal of protecting their club and every single one deserves great credit as that backing allowed Club 1872 to reach a shareholding of around 5%.
The landscape has changed, though, and we are heading in a new direction with fresh ideas, a new board and a clear focus on heritage projects in collaboration with the club.
Protecting the history of our great club is crucial but we must also look forward and I’m excited about their forthcoming rebrand with a heritage focus.
We’re all Rangers supporters and together we can help our great club.
Alan Fraser
First and foremost, I’m lifelong Rangers supporter, I love my club and all it stands for.
I see it as my duty to protect its integrity and stand up for its values. I have been a season ticket holder for nearly 30 years and have had the privilege of Chairing the committees that oversaw both Walter Smith’s and Mark Hateley’s testimonial years.
I sat on the original working group that managed the process of forming Club 1872 and I’m pleased to now be in a position to devote the time and energy required to serve on the board.
Before retiring, I spent 40 years in the advertising industry in the UK, working at PLC board level. During my career I have worked extensively with the media, both print and broadcast.
I have served on several boards including a major charity, a recruitment company, a print company and one of the UK’s biggest communication groups. I am an experienced fund raiser and I am very comfortable working at all levels and with diverse groups.
I’m an excellent communicator and analyst and over the last several years have worked with technology companies, keeping abreast of all modern communication techniques.
I believe this experience could be invaluable to Club 1872 in terms of both growing the membership and raising the profile of the organisation further through targeted supporter engagement and marketing campaigns.
Iain McHolm
I was an active member of my Rangers Supporter’s Club for many years and later joined its committee at a time when the club was facing serious financial difficulty and the risk of becoming defunct.
Working alongside fellow members, I helped lead a series of fundraising initiatives and collaborative efforts with neighbouring RSCs. Together, we stabilised the finances of our own club and supported others, ensuring they were placed on a far stronger footing for the future.
I was also part of the group that established the Rangers Supporters Clubs Working Group, which successfully mobilised RSCs across the country to unite and press for a stronger voice within Rangers.
This work ultimately led to the group joining with the RSA, significantly strengthening the RSA’s influence and representation within the club. Although I stepped away from my own RSC in 2022 for personal reasons, the experience shaped my understanding of supporter engagement and the importance of organised, constructive representation.
Professionally, I began my career as an apprentice electrician and, through self‑funded development and determination, progressed to Contract Manager and now Project Engineer with one of the world’s largest energy distribution companies. These roles have equipped me with strong communication skills, the ability to present ideas clearly, and the confidence to introduce new ways of thinking when needed. I am solution‑focused by nature — I look to resolve challenges rather than assign blame — and I believe this mindset will be a valuable asset to Club 1872.
I am equally comfortable taking the lead on a task or supporting others when they are leading. This flexibility has served me well throughout my career, allowing me to work effectively with people from a wide range of backgrounds and build strong, respectful relationships. I will bring that same collaborative approach to the Club 1872 board, always with the aim of delivering the best outcomes for the Rangers support.

I have been a Rangers supporter since I was a boy and my passion for the club has only deepened over the years. Like many fans, my attention expanded beyond first‑team matters during the lead‑up to, and the aftermath of, the events of 2012. Since then, I have taken a wider interest in the club’s stability, governance, and future direction.
I have been a committed member of Club 1872 since its formation. Over that time, I have followed closely the direction it needed to take in its early years and the exciting new chapter the organisation is now entering. After speaking with current Club 1872 board representatives, I am more convinced than ever that this is the right moment for me to step forward. Instead of simply watching from the sidelines, I want to actively contribute — which is why I am seeking election to the board, with a particular focus on heritage projects that matter to the membership and enhance the match‑day experience for all Rangers fans.
In my previous career in the telecommunications industry, I had the privilege of working in and around Ibrox for many years. During that time, I witnessed first-hand the challenges involved in maintaining such a large and iconic structure — one visited by tens of thousands every week and regarded not just as a stadium, but as a monument of remembrance for generations of supporters. This experience gave me a deep appreciation of the responsibility that comes with preserving and respecting the history embedded within the fabric of Ibrox.
Combined with my current role as a Programme Manager for a large international IT company, I believe I am well placed to support Club 1872 in its ambitions. I bring experience in structured delivery, stakeholder engagement, and long‑term planning — skills that will help the board prioritise and deliver heritage initiatives that reflect the values and expectations of the membership.
This is an exciting time to be a Rangers fan, with a new board and managerial setup driving positive change. Together we can build on this momentum, strengthen Club 1872, and develop heritage projects that every member can take pride in — projects that protect our history and will be remembered by generations of Rangers supporters to come.
