Soccer-King passed 'fit and proper' for Rangers role

LONDON, May 19 (Reuters) - Businessman Dave King is "fit and proper" to become the next Rangers chairman, the Scottish Football Association (SFA) ruled on Tuesday.

King led a successful bid to oust the previous board at Ibrox in March, but had to wait for clearance from the SFA given his convictions over tax arrangements in South Africa.

He was also a member of the Rangers board before the club's administration and liquidation in 2012.

The SFA said in a statement that it was satisfied King had passed the necessary tests "after receiving specialist legal advice in Scotland and South Africa".
