ROBERT Rowan, the 26-year-old head of football operations at English Championship club Brentford, is being considered for the new director of football role at Rangers.
Officials of the Ibrox club are believed to have spoken to Rowan about the prospect of him becoming a part of their new coaching structure at Auchenhowie.
The Scot was previously technical director at Stenhousemuir and has held scouting roles with Celtic and the Scottish Football Association in the past.
Rangers are speaking to potential candidates for their vacant manager’s position and for the new director of football role this week.
Former Rangers defender Craig Moore has also been linked to the director of football post, with Alex McLeish, Billy Davies, Alan Pardew and Derek McInnes among the favourites to take over as manager.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
