This is why Rangers parted ways with Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell after bombshell Monday news
Rangers have parted ways with CEO Patrick Stewart and Sporting Director Kevin Thelwell.
On Monday, Rangers announced their huge decision to sack Stewart and Thelwell, in news that comes to the delight of many Gers supporters after a turbulent start to the season.
There have been protests at Ibrox this season, which have been fueled by the decisions made by the hierarchy, including Thelwell and Stewart.
However, Andrew Cavenagh may have just gained himself some extra brownie points for the reasoning behind his decision.
Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart’s decisions angered Rangers fans
Things have started to get better since Danny Rohl’s appointment, and Rangers are back to winning consistently in the Scottish Premiership.
However, Thelwell and Stewart have come under fire for the signings made this summer, with many surprised by how well Rohl has done, despite the lack of quality in the squad.
- Stewart backed Russell Martin, despite a damaging start to the season
- Rangers fans were not happy with Thelwell appointing his son Robbie to a senior recruitment role
- The pair have contributed to a lack of trust between Rangers fans and the board
Rangers released a club statement on their official website announcing the decision and confirming that the process to hire replacements has begun.
According to journalist Raman Bhardwaj, one of the main reasons Rangers decided to pull the trigger on the pair was over fan anger.
The news will have many celebrating, but Rangers fans may not realise what is right around the corner for the Bears.
Rangers are entering their most exciting era
Rangers seem to have their spark back under Rohl, and the 49ers’ next appointment could be the biggest decision in recent history.
Rohl has over two years left on his Rangers contract, and with new signings bound to arrive in January, the best of Gers is yet to come.

| 7 | 4 | 0 | 3 |
Thelwell and Stewart ultimately may have had this coming, and Cavenagh deserves a pat on the back for his unexpected move, one that likely wouldn’t have been made in recent years.
The 49ers clearly saw that things weren’t working under the duo and will want to ensure their successors are the right fit.
