Rangers rope in successful businessman for major backroom role decision

Rangers have a number of people working behind the scenes to finalise the appointment of a new CEO, according to Chris Jack.

The Rangers Review journalist reported on 19 September that George Letham, who is a well-known figure around Ibrox and an experienced and successful businessman, is among those leading the charge as they work with John Gilligan to hire the right person for the job.

Along with Letham, Graeme Park and the other members of the RIFC plc board – Alistair Johnston, Julian Wolhardt, John Halsted and George Taylor - will also have a say in the appointment.

Rangers can benefit from George Letham's business expertise

Having someone like Letham helping with the decisions is beneficial as he's got a business background and knows the best ways for an entity to be profitable.

While the footballing side is the primary aspect of any club, it's impossible to have a good bunch of players and coaches to put on the pitch without adequate funding.

Letham is not only a successful businessman but is known by the people in and around Rangers so he's aware of how the club functions and what the primary ambitions are.

Hopefully, along with Park and the other board members, Letham and Gilligan can appoint someone who's capable of building a solid structure behind the scenes.

It's important, for the club to thrive, that everything is well structured so as to give the manager and players the best chance to achieve their goals.

Things haven't been running smoothly for the past several years so it's no surprise that Gers are not where they should be.

In other Rangers news, the club received lucrative offers and made a decision on them after gauging issues at Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
