Rangers are facing another significant departure as Creag Robertson, the football operations director, has decided to leave the club. This news comes at a time when the team is already missing key positions such as a chief executive, head of academy, and a permanent chairman. Robertson, who joined Rangers in 2016 and was later promoted to director of football operations, is said to be pursuing new opportunities elsewhere. His departure will leave interim board boss John Gilligan with another important role to fill.
Robertson played a crucial role in shaping the vision for the new-look Rangers squad alongside Philippe Clement and recruitment chief Nils Koppen. His resignation is the latest in a series of high-profile exits that have unsettled the club in recent months. Earlier this year, James Bisgrove stepped down as CEO to join a club in Saudi Arabia, while youth boss Zeb Jacobs also left to return to his native Netherlands.
John Gilligan, who was brought back to replace the former chairman, has made it his priority to find a new CEO and chairman for the club. “The main priority is to get a chief executive. We are working on that right away. I can stay on indefinitely, I am expecting a few months and a chairman to come in too,” he stated. The club is currently navigating through a period of transition, with key positions needing to be filled to ensure the smooth operation of the team.
Despite the recent departures, Rangers fans remain hopeful for the future of the club. The team has faced challenges in the past and has always managed to bounce back stronger. As the search for new leadership continues, it is important for the club to remain focused on its goals and continue to strive for success on and off the pitch.
In the world of football, change is inevitable, and clubs must adapt to new circumstances in order to thrive. While Creag Robertson’s departure may come as a blow to Rangers, it also presents an opportunity for fresh perspectives and ideas to take the club to new heights. As the team moves forward, fans can expect to see exciting developments and positive changes that will shape the future of Rangers Football Club.
