Executive Exodus- Ibrox hit by new top level departure

Creag Robertson is bailing out of Ibrox leaving a vacancy for a Director of Football Operations.

Claims emerged last night on social media with the Rangers Review and Daily Record quickly confirming the news.

Robertson was ultimately responsible for Hamza Igamane not having a visa to enter Sweden for the Europa League tie against Malmo although after the three subsequent appearances from the Moroccan the visa failure probably did Phil Clement as favour.

The vacancy for a Director of Football Operations can be added to the vacancies for a Head of Academy and Chief Executive Officer while John Gilligan holds the ship together as caretaker Chairman after John Bennett walked away.

Robertson moved to Ibrox in 2016 but rose to prominence under Ross Wilson who he had worked under previously at Falkirk.

With three executive vacancies and a caretaker Chairman it isn’t too much of a stretch to brand the club from Ibrox as being in crisis.

In trademark style many of the Gullible & Deluded believe that the vacancies make their club rife for a takeover with the new regime given a blank canvas to bring in their own appointments.

After buying up shareholdings from at least five sources to acquire 50% of the shares any prospective buyer would then have to make the same offer to the other shareholders.

Once those hurdles are cleared existing ‘investors’ have interest bearing loans totalling £20m that they can withdraw leaving the new owners probably down the best part of £50m before they start restructuring the club into self-sustained mode while stoapin Selik as demanded by loyal bears.

The good news for Clement is that Gilligan has promised him a transfer war-chest for January and believes that domestic domination will return to Ibrox just because it always does.

NOTE: Robertson does spell his first name Creag.
