Kevin Thomson breaks silence on 'worst kept secret' Rangers return

Kevin Thomson has hailed continued support as "unbelievable" as he broke his silence on returning to Rangers.

The 40-year-old has re-joined the Ibrox club to take up a new role in the academy at his former club.

Thomson previously enjoyed a successful spell as a player at Rangers playing under Walter Smith. He was then employed in the youth academy as a coach.

The experienced coach then left Rangers to take up the manager's job at Kelty Hearts in 2021.

He has now returned to Rangers to work as a coach alongside under-18 head manager Steven Smith.

The Rangers Review exclusively revealed the news and confirmed Thomson's new post in the academy set-up.

It's understood no formal head of academy will be appointed with academy staff instead reporting to technical director Nils Koppen.

Now, Thomson has taken to social media to make his first comments since returning to Rangers in a youth academy position.

Posting on his Instagram story, Thomson wrote: "Thank you for all the messages!

"The continued support I get is unbelievable. Worst kept secret!"
