'Awful' - Tom English reacts as claim made on Rangers infrastructure amid lack of strategy

BBC journalist Tom English believes that the investment in infrastructure will reap dividends for Rangers but the club are still not in an ideal position.

English has lashed out at the Ibrox outfit for their “awful” lack of strategy off the pitch in recent seasons that’s led to poor performances on it.

He’s urged the club to put the right foundations in place if they are to be legitimate contenders.

English wrote on X: “The infrastructure will pay dividends, but there’s been an awful lack of strategy there for years. Need to rebuild sensibly now. Forgot about the league – I know, I know – for a few years and put really strong foundations in place.”

Rangers need a comprehensive overhaul behind the scenes in their operations

This critique highlights the strategic shortcomings off the pitch and the need for a comprehensive overhaul of how the club approaches its infrastructure and operational strategy.

To make things happen correctly, Gers should ideally invest in youth academies and scouting networks to develop and attract talent, reducing reliance on expensive transfers.

Enhancing the club’s data analytics capabilities to inform player recruitment and performance analysis, ensuring decisions are data-driven.

Fostering a culture of sustainability through financial management is essential, which includes balancing the books without over-reliance on Champions League revenue, as suggested by past financial strategies.

Improving fan engagement and stadium experience, which could boost revenue and support must also not be forgotten.

By focusing on these foundational elements, Gers can build a robust framework that supports on-pitch success, aiming for stability and competitiveness over immediate glory.
