Rangers Poised to Name Kevin Thelwell’s Son Head of Recruitment as Debate Intensifies

The reported move has drawn nepotism complaints from critics during a difficult start to the season.

Overview

  • Daily Record reports that Robbie Thelwell, 26, is set to arrive from Norwich City to take the head of recruitment role after previously working under his father at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
  • The restructuring reportedly also includes bringing in Everton’s Nathan Fisher as head scout.
  • Columnist Keith Jackson condemned the plan as “blatant gaslighting” of supporters and said the appointment “stinks.”
  • Former Rangers striker Billy Dodds supported the change, saying the club needs fresh ideas in recruitment and he could understand the decision.
  • The reaction comes with Rangers sitting eighth in the Premiership after a poor start, heightening scrutiny of the club’s leadership and manager Russell Martin.
