George Letham is expected to be a regular at Ibrox as he carries out an advisory job for Rangers under new chairman John Gilligan, according to Chris Jack.
The Rangers Review journalist reported for the outlet’s website on 17 September that the 4.98 per cent shareholder will have a role “going forward” after John Bennett’s sudden resignation on health grounds.
Gilligan is set to continue the hunt for a replacement to James Bisgrove at CEO as a priority during his temporary stint as chairman, after the Englishman “stunned” the club by moving for the Saudi Pro League in the summer [Scottish Sun, 30 May].
Dave King has touted himself for a two-year return as chairman following Bennett’s exit [Rangers Review, 15 September, but he is expected to be turned down by the present Ibrox board [Daily Record, 16 September].
George Letham is Rangers assistant as Dave King on the outside
It appears the Light Blues are going to be moving forward with something of a skeleton crew at the top of the hierarchy, with those participating doing so out of obligation in a time of need.
That seems far from ideal so even if King is going to be kept on the outside looking in there is an obvious need for meetings to be made on greater than a short-term basis.
It remains to be seen whether links to Adrian Bevington [David Tanner, 10 September] as possible new chief executive develop into concrete talks in the wake of Bennett’s exit
