Rangers chief Kevin Thelwell says head coach appointment due in ‘coming days'
Thelwell has officially started his role but had already been working on finding a new man to lead the first team after Barry Ferguson's spell in interim charge ended at the close of the season. Outgoing Real Madrid assistant manager Davide Ancelotti remains the favourite with former Swansea and Southampton boss Russell Martin also heavily linked. Steven Gerrard reportedly dropped out of the race. Thelwell is looking to remove further uncertainty over the club's future after a takeover by an American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises was confirmed on Friday. The 51-year-old, who has left a similar role with Everton, said on the Rangers website: 'It's a great honour to be joining Rangers, particularly at such an exciting moment in the club's history. Kevin Thelwell has today begun his role as Sporting Director as the summer of change here at Rangers moves up a gear. Read More ⤵️ — Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) June 2, 2025 'While there has been significant work going on in the background prior to my arrival, that naturally accelerates from today, and top of the priority list will be the appointment of a new Head Coach for our men's first-team. 'That search has been progressing well, and the club and I look forward to bringing that to a conclusion in the coming days.' Rangers confirmed that Thelwell had brought Dan Purdy with him from Everton to replace Nils Koppen as technical director. Koppen, who arrived from PSV Eindhoven in December 2023, initially as director of football recruitment, will work with Thelwell and Purdy to 'support a smooth handover'. Purdy spent 11 years at Everton working in scouting and analysis and most recently head of recruitment. Rangers stated Purdy would lead on recruitment and scouting across the men's, women's and academy programmes. Thelwell arrives after three years at Everton. He previously worked for the Football Association of Wales and was head of the youth academies of Preston, Derby and Wolves, the first two working under former Rangers midfielder Billy Davies. He moved to New York Red Bulls to become head of sport for two years before his switch to Everton. 'This is a new chapter for Rangers, and while we recognise success won't come easy, our goal is clear: we need to win,' he said. 'My focus is on delivering that, with discipline and ambition. We'll give everything to move this club forward as quickly and sustainably as we can.'

‘I don't know why I can't get a job' – Rangers cult hero quizzed on whether Old Firm past is denying him opportunities
He reckons people still think he acts like he did on the pitch - and called one of his old Celtic enemies "one of the nicest people you can meet" OUT OF THE GAME OUT OF THE GAME 'I don't know why I can't get a job' – Rangers cult hero quizzed on whether Old Firm past is denying him opportunities Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Rangers star Nacho Novo is desperate for a job in football management. But he has been left scratching his head as to why he hasn't had more opportunities. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Nacho Novo was a cult hero during his time at Rangers Credit: Alamy 3 Novo during his time with Lexington SC in the USA 3 He's been talking about his hunt for a full-time managerial job Credit: LET ME BE FRANK The ex-Gers striker returned to Scottish football with Drumchapel United as part of the coaching staff last year. Drumchapel currently ply their trade in the West of Scotland Football League Premier Division - the sixth tier of the SPFL pyramid. While Novo admits he loves working with the part-timers but has found himself questioning why, after such a glittering playing career, that he's been passed over for other coaching jobs. It was reported last year that Novo applied for the Raith Rovers job when Ian Murray was bizarrely sacked just one game into the season. But the Kirkcaldy club appointed Neil Collins as his successor. Novo, 46, retired in 2017 after having played in the top flights of Spain, Scotland and Poland and winning seven trophies (six with Gers and one with Legia Warsaw). He went through his coaching badges before landing his first job as a coach at Lexington SC in USL League One (the third tier of football in the United States). He initially served as assistant manager and as the head coach of the Under-23s before being promoted to the interim role in September 2023. But he left and within a year had returned to Scotland. After a full season with Drumchapel, Novo has admitted he is still chasing a dream of opening a football academy if he doesn't get a full-time job in management. Rangers fans react as 49ers takeover completed Speaking on the Let Me Be Frank podcast, Novo said: "I've been at Drumchapel for a whole season now and I love it. "Especially because it's proper football, that's how I'd say it! Proper tackles! "We had a good group of boys, some have been pros. They did well this season." Drumchapel finished sixth in the Premier Division this season. And despite his reputation as a former Rangers fan favourite, Novo insists he never had any added grief on the sidelines over the past year. But he does wonder if his association to the Light Blues has held him back when it comes to applying for other jobs higher up the food chain. He said: "I don't know why I can't get a job in football as a coach or anything like that. "Is it because of Rangers? I don't know. "It's probably because of how I was on the park but how I was on the park is not how I am as a person outside." Expanding on that point, Novo talked about how former Celtic foes like John Hartson remain good family friends to this day. And how one-time arch rival Neil Lennon is one of the nicest people he's met in football. Novo said: "People think about Neil Lennon for example, they think he's terrible, that he acts like he did on the pitch. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. "John Hartson, he's a good friend of my family. "We played on the same park and hated each other but we respected each other. "On the pitch we were enemies and that was my mentality but outside of that I'm very quiet and a family man." Novo has been approached for a scouting job that would see him scour Scotland and the north of England for talent. But his main ambition is to open a cross-border football academy that would link his homeland and his adopted home. He said: "I tried to open a football academy here and in Spain. "I wanted to bring clubs from Scotland over to Spain for a tournament and bring Spanish teams here for the same thing. "But that takes a lot of insurance to do it right, a lot of admin and red tape. "That's my idea at the moment." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Celtic star lined up for stunning return to club just days after exit as transfer talks ongoing
He recently opened up on his future at Parkhead TIL THE END Celtic star lined up for stunning return to club just days after exit as transfer talks ongoing HE looked set to fight for his future at Celtic after spending the last 16 months out on loan. But this forgotten Celtic winger could be set for ANOTHER spell away from Parkhead - without even having the chance to impress Brendan Rodgers in pre-season. Advertisement 2 Marco Tilio is used to winning trophies in Australia Credit: Alamy 2 But will he ever enjoy similar success in Scotland? Credit: Kenny Ramsay Marco Tilio, 23, enjoyed a standout campaign in his homeland Australia with his old club Melbourne City rounded off this season with another A-League title. The pacy winger clinched the Championship trophy following their 1-0 Grand Final win over rivals Melbourne Victory on Saturday. Tilio is in arguably the best form of his career with five goals and five assists in 19 games - eclipsing his final season in his first spell at City which earned him his move to Glasgow. The Socceroos star played just two games under Rodgers before being shipped back to Melbourne for another lengthy spell. Advertisement While he was meant to return to Glasgow this summer - after international duty for Australia - Tilio recently admitted that his future at Celtic is "up in the air". His contract at Parkhead runs for another three years but Tilio has hinted he could stay in Australia after all. And Melbourne City director of football Michael Petrillo hopes that will be the case as he's revealed talks are ongoing with Celtic about potentially extending his loan for another year. Addressing the winger's future, he told the Football Fever podcast: 'We are still negotiating whether he stays another year or goes to Europe. We hope he stays.' Advertisement Responding to questions surrounding his Celtic return at the weekend, Tilio said: 'My future is obviously up in the air at the moment, so I'm unsure what is going to happen. 'It's always been about just playing well. I know when I'm playing well people are always watching." Celtic loan star Marco Tilio scores a stunning goal on return to Melbourne City Tilio was a £1.5million signing for the Scottish champions in the summer of 2023. A thigh injury derailed his campaign before it even got underway and meant he had to wait until November to make his debut. Advertisement But despite his derailed start and later move back to Australia, Tilio does still believe he could make an impact in Europe. He told Optus Sport last year: "I'd hope to be saying I'll be playing consistently over in Europe. "I'd like to say. We'll see but, yeah, that's where my head's at."
