Rangers chief Dave King ‘scared for his life’ after masked robbers pointed gun at his head outside Johannesburg office
RANGERS chief Dave King was "scared for his life" after an armed robber pointed a gun to his head.
The Ibrox chief was involved in a terrifying raid outside his offices in Johannesburg, South Africa.
And now he's considering leaving the country on a permanent basis.
The Times reports that King said that he was ambushed outside his office last Monday by men armed with handguns.
The yobs threatened his security guard and office manager before stealing his laptop and expensive Patek Philippe watch - worth thousands.

He said: “As I arrived at the office they came up behind me.
“There were four guys who had guns and were wearing balaclavas.
"One of them pointed a gun at my head and another took my watch off my wrist.
"It was in broad daylight and they were completely brazen.
“I was scared for my life. I said to myself, ‘Let’s not be brave and let’s not be stupid. Whatever you do, don’t agitate them, and let them getaway with whatever they want to take.’
“One of them said, ‘Where’s your money?’, so I took all my cash out and gave it to them.
"They took my laptop, my case, my drivers’ licence, diary, phone and all the things I need to function.”
King revealed that both of his daughters had recently been held up at gunpoint - once with his grandchild nearby.
