Who is John Gilligan and what is the chairman and CEO state of play?
John Gilligan was a supporter who turned into a hero, a fan who turned into an investment. He is now the chairman in addition to being a director. He will regard the role as a privilege and an honor. The club contacted Gilligan last week following John Bennett’s announcement that he was resigning as chairman due to health issues. On Saturday, a plan was revised that called for the handover to be revealed on Monday. There was going to be a transition, according to The Rangers Review. Rangers fans worry that there are more questions than answers at Ibrox as the team enters a new period of uncertainty, but Gilligan’s return brings stability to the team’s operations and finances. Now that he is in charge of a club, it must determine where it is and where it is going, both on and off the pitch.
Why has Gilligan been appointed as chairman?
On Saturday afternoon, Rangers announced that Bennett was resigning from his chairmanship of the Ibrox board. Since Gilligan was the only obvious candidate at the top table, the administration invited him back to the club. He would always be there to respond to the Rangers’ call to duty. Gilligan’s involvement is considered to have no time limit, and he will stay in position for as long as necessary. Key personnel have already been met with, including manager Philippe Clement.
Rangers released a statement saying, “Former Director John Gilligan will temporarily fulfil the role of Chairman until a permanent replacement is appointed.” “The Board thanks John for stepping in at short notice and believes his experience in senior business roles throughout a long and successful career, and also, as a former Director of Rangers, will be invaluable at this time.”
