Charles Green has confirmed the appointment of James Traynor as Director of Communications at Ibrox.
Less than a week after quitting the Daily Record by sounding off at fellow journalists and internet bloggers Traynor has been given the job of ensuring that Green’s message is delivered without questioning- just as he did loyally for David Murray, Craig Whyte and Green.
Part of Traynor’s remit is to lead Rangers International into the digital era despite his long standing contempt for the on-line army of bloggers who’ve used social media to highlight issues that would otherwise be buried.
Traynor’s departure from the Record has long been speculated on with the grapevine buzzing in recent weeks anticipating a move to Ibrox. Close observers have noted his fingerprints over recent announcements especially the club backed boycott of tickets for the Scottish Cup tie with Dundee United.
Regardless of who was in power at Ibrox they could be guaranteed the fulsome backing of Traynor whether it was in print or on the airwaves of state funded broadcaster Radio Scotland.
In April 2010 Traynor famously clashed with Chick Young on air over who was the biggest sycophant of Rangers as they exchanged insults calling each other cheerleaders and puppets. That morning the Daily Record had carried a front page story from Alastair Johnston promising that Rangers will never go bust.
At that time Traynor was still championing the cause of Craig Whyte having exclusively revealed the interest of the Motherwell born billionaire six months earlier.
Traynor and the Record continued to back Whyte until January of this year with Rangers plunging into administration a month later.
Announcing today’s appointment the Rangers website stated: “James will be head of media and oversee the development of all media platforms including Rangers TV, digital, online and print publications.
“He joins Rangers following a distinguished journalistic career with the Herald, Express and Daily Record newspapers as well as being a presenter with the BBC.
“In his role at Ibrox, James will be supported by the Rangers Media editorial team, the Press Office and external media advisers, Media House.”
The BBC finally dropped Traynor from their Your Call phone-in where he’d regularly denounce the investigations of BBC colleagues.

Looking like they need to get him onboard to bury evidence of more corruption.
LOL, nice one Joe for a minute I thought you were being serious.
Every cloud, at least we wont have to read/listen to his rantings in the public domain
Dont be celebrating too soon pal~~~~~ we still have Jabba’s bastard prodigy in wee Shug
Who has stepped straight into his shoes with the same s**te that Scotland’s Voice of Authority gave us~~~~
In fact we have the wee glakid Shug now as His Masters Voice
James Traynor is now officially employed to put a positive spin on all things connected with Ibrox. So what’s new? At least we, the taxpayers, now won’t be funding his rabid slabbers any more, as we have had to do for years through the BBC.
Jabba’s a fat, loud mouthed moron and an arrogant sod too so he’ll fit in nicely at the asbestos dome.
Paranoid me?
Jabba gone.The supposed Airdrie supporter for yonks gone.Where has he gone?
The D.Murray puppet has gone home.
Home to the bigotdrome.
He who was impartial.lol
No agenda here Timmy walk on.
Now we know for sure,we are not paranoid,never have been. And we as BBC licence payers paid his wages.
This appointment confirms what we always knew he was never impartial. Just a HUN with no morals,class,grace,eloquence or honour.
HH
Pre-war Berlin…..Joseph Goebbels anyone?
His integrity had gone, same as DR
Glad to see the back of tenaman traynor hope they have pish proof seats at ibrox
Well shockaroonie! nobody saw this coming, he was probably finding it hard to hide his rangers wages from the tax man, now he can get them paid straight into his bank, filthy rat, best place for the rodent
at least he’ll be able tae stuff his glutinous fat face with the asbestos contaminated succulent lamb from the asbestos ridden canteen in the asbestos ridden bigot-dome whilst pocketing future taxpayers money probably from an offshore account
Fat
Business as usual for Traynor then! He’s been doing that job his entire career ffs.
And even though he has now finally taken up his Ibrox role on an ‘official basis’ you can be sure he can rely on his friends at the Record to promote the shameless Rangers/newco propaganda that has become his trademark over the years.
Paranoid timmy they used to say!
Official confirmation of everything that we knew already !
Now for the rest…. You know who you are
Like in Star Wars Jabba dies under lights shining on him. 4th rate hack now with a 4th rate team. Hail hail
So his laptop is in a different office… Still the same pish being typed.
The fat peddlar of fairy tales has wobbled off the Titanic, and flopped onto the iceberg. It will melt in the summer!
His career was the longest job interveiw ever just dont give him to much to drink been known to pish himself after falling asleep at his desk- allegedly.
God almighty it never ends.This looks like a curve ball to deflect from share issue.This guy has history against rangers[in admin]saying they should be put down.How will the bears receive this news.Mind boggles.p.s. My christmas stocking is full. Please no more.
