James Bisgrove outlines Rangers 'immediate priority' after CEO announcement

James Bisgrove has outlined his "immediate priority" as Rangers' new CEO.

The 38-year-old was this evening confirmed as the Ibrox club's chief executive following the announcement that Stewart Robertson will leave in the summer.

Robertson will exit Ibrox at the end of July after nearly eight years at the helm.

He has overseen the club's rise from the Championship to reclaiming the title, winning the Scottish Cup, and reaching the final of the Europa League.

Bisgrove steps up from commercial and marketing director, a role he has performed since June 2019.

In a club statement, Bisgrove said: “I would like to thank and congratulate Stewart for all he has achieved at Rangers. His daily support and wisdom have been invaluable.

“Rangers Football Club is a globally renowned institution steeped in success and the scale of privilege and responsibility I feel to serve its supporters as CEO is immense.

“In the past four years, I've witnessed first-hand what this great club means to our supporters worldwide and, together with our Chairman, John Bennett, and the Board, we will work tirelessly to achieve the success Rangers supporters deserve.

“My immediate priority is to ensure Michael Beale and his staff continue to have the resources and environment they require to put a winning team on the pitch and to deliver regular trophies for our supporters.

“This will be underpinned by overseeing the continuation of our positive financial performance and sustained profitability off the pitch.

“I'm personally looking forward to energising our engagement with all Rangers supporters and overseeing a strengthened and aligned culture.”
