Murdo Mackenzie: Ha Ha Ha, you just couldn't make this up.......shame on you SFA.

Christopher: Great news, no excuses now...

"Dave King had been waiting for 74 days to return to Ibrox as a director again," writes BBC Scotland's Richard Wilson.

"The opening months of the new boardroom regime have seen consolidation, a bid to restore a sense of stability and the beginning of some long-term thinking, but issues still need to be addressed.

"Fans will look to King and the rest of the board to lead the club forward..."

Murray Skinner: We probably should be outraged at this but I suspect most of us have lost the energy.

Kevin Boyle: What exactly do you need to do to be classed as unfit and improper?

Colin Walls: I have always admired the SFA's foresight.

"The scale of this due diligence is unprecedented but befitting the complexities of the consideration placed before the Board. During this exercise both Mr King and the club were fully co-operative and responded to all questions put to them by the Scottish FA.

"On the basis of this advice presented to it, and having considered all submissions received from Mr King and the club in respect of this matter, the Scottish FA Board granted an approval, conditional upon further submissions from Mr King in respect of documented agreements with the appropriate authorities in South Africa.

"The Scottish FA can confirm it has now received this supplementary documentation in full and the Board is satisfied Mr King is Fit and Proper in terms of Article 10.2."

"Following the submission of an amendment to its Official Return by Rangers Football Club, the Board of the Scottish FA has considered the Fit and Proper status of Mr Dave King as a director of the club in respect of Article 10.2 of the Articles of Association.

Mr King provided substantial information in relation to the matters set out at Article 10.2 (h) and 10.2 (j) namely:

• He has been convicted within the last 10 years of (i) an offence liable to imprisonment of two years or over, (ii) corruption or (iii) fraud and

• He has been "a director of a club in membership of any National Association within the 5-year period preceding such club having undergone an insolvency event".

• In considering the request, the Board of the Scottish FA has sought and received specialist independent legal advice, both in Scotland and South Africa, in respect of Mr King's conviction further to the South African Income Tax Act and in relation to his previous involvement as a Director of the club. It has also received significant documentation from relevant authorities both within the UK and South Africa."

"I said before that I must be the most scrutinised candidate in Scottish football history but, as I also previously explained, I was happy to accept this given the importance to the club of having a board fully comprised of individuals with the club's best interests at heart and who are all approved by the Scottish FA.

"We finally have that, and my colleagues on the board and I look forward to serving the club in the years to come.

"I thank the Scottish FA for their diligence in this matter and now it is time to look ahead and map out Rangers' future.

"However, I will elaborate on that in the coming days because there should be no distractions ahead of tomorrow night's match at Ibrox."

"I am delighted with today's announcement from the Scottish FA. I can now turn my attention fully to the task of re-building Rangers.

"The Scottish FA's process has understandably been a long one given their recent negative experience with some of the previous board members, who were tasked with being custodians of the club.

"It was essential that I dealt fully with all of the Scottish FA's questions and provided them with everything they required, no matter how personal, in order to prove that there were no barriers to me joining the Board of Rangers International Football Club plc.

"I always maintained I would meet the fit and proper requirements of the Scottish FA once they had examined all the evidence and that is what happened."

King led a successful bid to oust the previous board at Ibrox in March.

However, the governing body needed time to assess King's suitability, given his tax convictions in South Africa.

The fact he sat on the Rangers board prior to administration and subsequent liquidation was also taken into consideration.

Acting chairman Paul Murray, who was also on the board prior to administration, had his position as a director ratified by the SFA on 1 May.

Dave King is free to take up the chairman's role at Rangers after being passed "fit and proper" by the Scottish Football Association.
