Rangers chairman Dave King invites fans to re-name training ground

Rangers chairman Dave King has invited fans to choose a new title for the club's training ground, which was initially named after Sir David Murray.
King once threatened to sue former Rangers owner Murray after accusing him of failing to disclose the true nature of the club's finances when he invested £20m previously, a claim Murray flatly refuted.
The Murray Park title has only been used sporadically since the Edinburgh-based businessman sold his stake to Craig Whyte in May 2011 and now King aims to officially sever the link to his former boardroom colleague.
In a written response to questions from fans, King wrote on the club's website: "From the time that Craig Whyte took the club over the name Murray Park slowly went out of use to the point that the facility is now referred to as Auchenhowie within the club.
"However, in reviewing the questions on this subject it is clear that many of you feel that Auchenhowie is too bland and that the facility should be renamed after a Rangers icon.
"I therefore invite all supporters to submit recommendations for renaming Auchenhowie and, based on the response, I will make a recommendation to the board at the next board meeting."
