Rangers sack CEO Patrick Stewart & sporting director Kevin Thelwell
Rangers dismissed CEO Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell after a costly £40 million summer rebuild failed to improve results, sparking fan protests and leadership changes.
- On Monday, Rangers Football Club announced it has parted company with chief executive Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell in a statement at Ibrox, Glasgow.
- Amid heavy spending this year, Kevin Thelwell, sporting director, oversaw a £40 million overhaul and spent north of £30m, which club sources say underdelivered.

- Owners say they had six months to assess the club and want different alignment from Stewart and Thelwell, while Danny Rohl has won all four league matches but Rangers' off-field stability remains elusive amid fans' protests.
