Rangers 'reluctantly' allow Jo Potter to leave with compensation due as Celtic boss Elina Sadiku lands a new role
Potter's exit with one year left on her deal will see her former club land a compensation fee
Double-Cup winning boss Jo Potter has left Rangers with the Ibrox side "reluctantly" allowing her to depart two seasons at the helm.
Potter's exit with one year left on her deal will see her former club land a compensation fee as many suitors are likely to cast an admiring glance at her work in Glasgow.
The former England international landed a clean sweep of the domestic Cup competitions over the past two seasons, however, Potter and fans of the Rangers women side were left chastened by consecutive seasons where the SWPL title alluded them on the final day of the season to Celtic and Hibs respectively.
Rangers fan outlet, Four Lads Had A Dream, posted: "Rangers are reluctantly allowing Jo to move on, club will receive compensation for her services as Jo still has one year left on her deal Best wishes to Jo, was absolutely brilliant to deal with and nothing but honest in her time as manager."
Potter succeeded Malky Thomson at the helm in 2023 after arriving from Birmingham City and proved a popular presence among the Ibrox playing staff.
Meanwhile, Celtic rival Elena Sadiku appears to be going nowhere after a disappointing season but she has landed a marquee role back in her homeland.
Sadiku – who masterminded a SWPL title triumph in 2024 before a misfiring fourth-placed finish in the last campaign – will be front and centre of Swedish TV's coverage of the Women's Euros in Switzerland.
The 31-year-old has earned praise for her tactical acumen and will be a regular on Sveriges Television before returning to Glasgow.

Oh sparks incredible transfer tug of war as £9m Feyenoord bid turfed out and Celtic in line to cash in again
The South Korean star moved to Belgian football last summer in a deal reportedly worth in total of £4.5m to the Scottish champions Feyenoord have had a bumper £9million bid rejected by Genk for former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu. The South Korean star moved to Belgian football last summer in a deal reportedly worth in total of £4.5m to the Scottish champions if all performance-related bonuses were met. And now Celtic could be set to cash in again with the champions long-term proponents of sell-on fees for the 24-year-old. Feyenoord are desperate to land Oh, but Genk have made it clear they have no intention of selling the 19-times capped international, who still has three years of his deal left. He was mostly used as a sub for Genk during his first season in Belgium and only made three league starts, but still scored nine goals for them. But Genk are set to sell Manchester United-linked star striker Tolu Arokodare and want to promote Oh as their main attacking threat for the new season and Feyenoord would have to substantially up their offer to have any chance of signing the player. Oh revealed last summer he felt he had to leave Celtic - where he scored 12 goals in all competitions despite only making six starts - because of the arrival of Adam Idah. He said: "I had lost my place in my national team because I was no longer playing for Celtic. It was then I knew I had to get a transfer. I scored 12 goals in total for Celtic, but I hardly played in the last six months. "They had brought in a new striker, someone with a different profile - a big, strong boy (Adam Idah) - and they had to find a solution for me. I thought that was a shame at first because I really loved Celtic. It's a great club. "But when Genk came calling, I didn't hesitate. I had a few options in the English Championship, but I just wanted to come here. "When you see all the players who came through here - Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, Leandro Trossard and more. That's impressive, isn't it?" You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Celtic page, and sign up to our newsletters to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.
