With John Bennett’s departure, the Rangers select a previous club director to serve as chairman.

In the near term, John Gilligan, a former club director, will succeed Bennett, who succeeded Douglas Park in April of last year.

With John Bennett’s resignation as chairman, the Rangers are going through another period of change at the top.

Just eighteen months after Bennett resigned as vice-chairman following Douglas Park’s departure, former director John Gilligan has now temporarily assumed the position.

Bennett’s departure from the position comes after a turbulent summer of Ibrox construction work and a challenging transfer window.

Only last Saturday did former Ibrox chairman Dave King silence James Tavernier’s outspoken critics and provide his support to Bennett in the midst of a call for composure from the South African billionaire.

“I know John Bennett is devastated by current events and is working immensely hard behind the scenes,”

King revealed in his statement at the time. We must band together to get through the difficult time we have ahead of us.

Last month, Bennett was had to assume the role of a firefighter in order to address the steel problems plaguing the Copland Road construction and to reiterate the need of Rangers living within their means.

Now, though, it is someone person’s time to spearhead the huge Ibrox agenda.

What are the major problems they need to solve, though? Record Sport examines.

Fresh CEO

Since James Bisgrove stated he was leaving to take a position in the Saudi Pro League,

the team has been without a CEO.

English FA star Adrian Bevington has entered the running for the position,

replacing St. Mirren‘s Jim Gillespie. Although John Bennett acknowledged that the search has “slowed” due to the focus on managing the Ibrox development delay,

fans are eager to see a critical position filled.

Plans for January

Bennett disclosed the club’s balance sheet, which they will need to monitor,

but after a hectic summer, they will also bolster in January.

A ‘one in, one out’ strategy was implemented for players such as Nils Koppen,

who replaced Connor Goldson, over the summer, and the loan market was abused.

Will the incoming leader have the same principles?
