Michael Stewart has apologised to former Rangers communications director James Traynor for comments made on BBC Radio Scotland two years ago.
A statement published on Twitter read: "I would like to apologise to Jim Traynor for comments about him on the BBC Sportsound programme on Monday 3 February 2020 and any distress caused to him and his family.
"On the programme, I referred (to) Jim as a dangerous character, a bully and someone who tries to create division for personal gain."
Stewart added: "I had no justification for those remarks and I withdraw them unreservedly.
"I realise that my remarks and the subsequent social media storm caused Jim and his family a lot of upset which I sincerely regret.
"I am also conscious that my remarks have caused embarrassment to Rangers Football Club and I would like to apologise to them too."
BBC Scotland apologised to Mr Traynor at the time.
