Half of Rangers star Marcus Gayle's wages will be used to launch a recruitment drive for a sinister cult in Scotland. Former members and counselling groups warned that the sect, which has just 1,800 members in Britain, will try to exploit the Rangers' massive following. And they warned Rangers players against being tricked into promoting it. Members donate half their income to the sect, which is estimated to have around 50,000 members world-wide.
Followers have a strict adherence to the Bible and are appointed a discipler.
The disciplers have total control over who members date and only encourage relationships within the group. Married members must also report to their discipler each time they have sex. The cult has been banned from some university campuses because of its attempts to brainwash students. He is believed to be on pounds 15,000 a week. The cult will also pocket a percentage of his signing-on fee, win bonuses and sponsorship deals.
