Meanwhile, chairman John Gilligan reported online to the membership website: “It has undoubtedly been a challenging period for the football club with significant changes both on and off the park during the 2023-24 season and throughout the summer months.”
He noted that John Bennett had stepped down as chairman due to illness “to focus on his health” but “remains a supportive shareholder and investor.”
James Bisgrove had been off sick as executive lead to connect Al-Qadsiah in the Saudi Premier League and Creag Robertson left his role as director of football operations.
“As we continue to search for the outstanding candidate for the CEO role, we maintain a strong executive team within the football club led by our Chief Financial Officer, James Taylor, Commercial Director Karim Virani and our Director of Football Recruitment, Nils Koppen. “Gilligan mentioned.
“All three were hired in the period under review and, as can be seen from our underlying performance, significant steps have been taken in a short period of time to meet our strategic objectives.”
Gilligan again apologized to fans for the delay in finishing work on the Copland Street Get Up which ended in a four-game transfer to the national stadium at Hampden Terrain.
“The support received at Hampden was extraordinary and epitomizes the bond that our great club has with our fans,” he insisted.
“Now that the Copland Road stand is complete, we are very proud of the work carried out to update and improve the facilities for our disabled supporters.
“They are actually one of the best services in Europe and are a testament to the loyalty of the board to continue to modernize and drive forward Ibrox and the wider campus.”
