Foreward by John "Bomber" Brown In 2013,
Craig Houston, a lifelong Rangers fan who had grown deeply concerned about how his beloved Ibrox club was being run, formed the supporters organisation Sons of Struth by setting up a Facebook page before he left his house to attend a game one evening.
Over the next two years his campaign to oust a despised board at Rangers took over his life, resulted in the company he ran going out of business, caused the break-up of his long-term relationship, saw him become temporarily estranged from his two young children, put his income in jeopardy and led to him sinking into a deep depression.
As the founder of a protest group named after the legendary Rangers manager Bill Struth, Houston unwittingly became the unofficial figurehead of the Rangers supporters in the media and at mass public protests during the often acrimonious and prolonged battle to drive out the "rats", "spivs" and "wigs" who occupied the boardroom.
With the backing of his best friend Sandy Chugg, a once-notorious football casual who was a prominent member of the feared Inter City Firm in the 1990s and who had spent time in prison for dealing ecstasy tablets, he arranged marches, set up petitions, organised mass demonstrations at stadiums, badgered officials remorselessly, encouraged fans to withhold season ticket money, staged a boycott of the stadium, waged an online propaganda war against directors and did much, much more.
In "SONS OF STRUTH DEMAND THE TRUTH - The Inside Story of the Battle for Power at Rangers" Craig lifts the lid for the first time on how he went from being an ordinary fan sitting in the stands on a Saturday watching his favourite team play to spearheading the struggle for control at Rangers as the alarming financial crisis at Ibrox steadily worsened.
