Kevin Thelwell, late of Everton FC. According to the Daily Rabble, on Twitter. So, make of this what you will. (By Twitter, I mean X, of course.)

Until Barry goes, and then Keith loses his source.

Regardless of who comes and goes we can all rely on Keith Jackson to be there to lead us around by the nose.

From the Daily Record Rangers close to new sporting director appointment with Barry Ferguson and Nils Koppen to learn their fates The search begun by Patrick Stewart back in February is nearing the end game with the new man expected to be announced imminently SPORT Ross Pilcher 19:04, 22 Apr 2025Updated 19:35, 22 Apr 2025 Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart The appointment of a new sporting director at Rangers is imminent. Record Sport understands the new man is set to be announced sooner rather than later, having been given the tour following negotiations. CEO Patrick Stewart has been leading the process, having confirmed back in February that the hunt was on, and the new man will be in charge of the whole footballing operation at Ibrox, which needs attention. Stewart said: “We are now in the market for a Sporting Director. “That role will put someone right at the top of the football tree; an experienced football person who will be responsible for all aspects of the football club to ensure they’re working together towards fulfilling our holistic joined-up plan." Article continues below And Record Sport's Keith Jackson revealed on Hotline Live that conformation is coming, which could have different repercussions for interim boss Barry Ferguson and technical director Nils Koppen. He said: "I'm told Rangers are very close to appointing a sporting director. Really close. They know who it is they want. "Patrick Stewart is in charge of this one. I think they've got their guy and it will be announced sooner rather than later. "That's going to be fascinating, to see who it is and his beliefs, views and philosophies. Also, what he thinks about the guy that's currently sitting in the dugout. "Because if he fancies Barry Ferguson, then who knows? There's a whole load if imponderables but that will be the first thing that happens. "Rangers fans can expect an appointment in that position very soon. "Again, that kind of moves Nils Koppen a little bit further out of the equation and he goes back to doing whatever it is that he's been doing. "If Rangers were serious about it, they'd need to take a look at his handiwork, assess it and say 'I'm not sure that we really need you in charge anywhere near the recruitment side of the club.'"

I cant see it happening for many reasons but the main one being it would set a precedent, Paris is relatively as close to England as Glasgow is, no reason why PSG wouldn't try to jump ship for example.

Good lawyer would argue I've not commented on anyone's appearance there, just asked who the obviously under the influence person is that's decided to rattle out a selfie with our new top. Besides, my selfie isn't that interesting bud.

I applaud your optimism. Enjoy is not the term I would use. I'm more a view with trepidation sort of person.

Nope, I don't think any sort of lawyer would argue that, mate. Wales's inclusion isn't because it's a constituent member of the UK. The rules could presumably be rewritten, if required, but as they stand, it's a non-starter in terms of relocating an existing club.

I believe the small print in the Gersnet membership application states that before anyone comments of the appearance of anyone, they must first post a picture of themselves so that we can all compare and contrast.

New Sporting Director

Yeah, it's poorly named, I agree.

Btw, the full photo is more fun... Who the fucks the ripping out their nut model 😂😂

Looks like a generic Sunday league kit with the Rangers badge added

Very Umbro looking.

I thought zero mission was the boards ambition.

Nobody, not even a massive V.L. has ever read that bit of the shirt before.

Well, if I'm confused I'm sure others will be too!

No, you're getting confused. It refers to this https://www.unibet.co.uk/zeromission It's on our shirts this season.

Looks like something you’d buy in a pound shop and get change back

I don't read any of our press, but it's not like we've not been burnt before. I am however an optimist in life, and concur with your summation.

Thought we were not supposed to be involved in anything political? Is net zero not a political stance?

Take your point but surely a clever lawyer might argue that Scotland is in a similar position to Wales? (That is a constituent member of the UK.)

Technically there is. Clubs need to be associated with a County FA to take part in a competition and a club based in Scotland wouldn't be, for example. There's also the rule that "all Clubs shall have Grounds and headquarters situated in England, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man if applicable or Wales". There are many other hurdles, such as needing a licence and permission needs to be sought to play against non-English teams.
