The Ibrox club are choosing to stand by the manager for the moment despite a poor start to the season which leaves them sitting 10th in the Premiership. Rangers have failed to win any of their opening five league games.
Supporters have directed chants towards the former Southampton boss at games and that reached a crescendo during the defeat to Hearts on Saturday.
Chief executive Stewart and sporting director Thelwell agreed to sit down with the FAB today and discussed football matters for more than two hours.
The group have confirmed the board’s stance on the manager remains the same, which they challenged.
A statement reads: “We had a full and frank discussion this afternoon, lasting more than two hours, with CEO Patrick Stewart, Sporting Director Kevin Thelwell and other club officials.
“We reiterated the fans’ collective strength of feeling on the performance of the manager, as well as other issues relating to the men’s first team that continue to cause great concern to the Rangers support. Nothing was left off the table.
“We appreciate the club dedicating the full agenda to football matters and answering questions raised. Other items, on wider club issues, will be addressed at a separate meeting in the near future.
“The club continues to back the manager – a stance we forcibly challenged. Full minutes of the meeting will be published before the weekend.”
