STEWART ROBERTSON has been appointed the new managing director of Rangers.

 

The former Motherwell director and club secretary stepped down at Fir Park earlier this year following Les Hutchinson's takeover and has been targeted by the Ibrox board as the man to take control of day-to-day affairs.

An official announcement on his appointment is expected shortly.

Robertson, a chartered accountant by trade, spent 10 years on the board at the Lanarkshire club and previously served on the Scottish Premier League board.
