The Celtic love-in of leading candidate for Ibrox CEO job

Adrian Bevington is on a charm offensive to become CEO at Ibrox with plenty of Celtic links on his social media accounts.

From Bobby Murdoch to Martin O’Neill the lifelong Middlesbrough fan clearly has an affection for Scotland’s most successful club which is bound to be a red flag to the fanatics at Ibrox looking for a staunch appointment to take over from James Bisgrove.

Unfortunately any candidate with the desired credentials is going to acknowledge that Celtic are the dominant force in Scottish football with a favourable profile across the game.

With a support on the brink of all out mutiny the last thing that a new CEO needs is suspicions that they admire how Celtic operate.

The height of Bevington’s career was a couple of years as Managing Director of Club England, whatever that is.

That has allowed drooling bears to claim that he was CEO at the FA but after 18 months as a Middleboro Director his most recent job was 13 months as a non-executive Director of Hartlepool United.

With his media contacts Bevington seems to be an expert at self promotion of a mediocre career which makes him an ideal candidate to succeed Bisgrove at Ibrox.
