Ashley wants King jailed..

NEWCASTLE chief Ashley has accused King of breaching a gagging order placed on the Ibrox board by his firm Sports Direct during an interview in July.

The Newcastle United owner’s lawyers insist King breached that ­injunction in July when he filmed a TV interview with Sky Sports’ Jim White.

During the chat at his home in Johannesburg, South Africa, King confirmed he was in talks with Sports Direct over contracts signed over by the previous Rangers regime.

Ashley’s lawyers have also asked London’s High Court to fine Rangers for allowing King to go in front of the cameras. Legal papers have been served on King’s co-directors Paul Murray and John Gilligan.

The bitter feud between the Ibrox club and Ashley had raged behind the scenes for six months until last week.

It exploded into the public eye when King released a statement insisting the legal fight against Sports Direct will continue despite ­spiralling costs.
