Rangers could turn to former England director of communications Adrian Bevington as they step up their search for a new chief executive to replace James Bisgrove.
According to The Scottish Sun, Bevington, 53, would be keen to take over at Rangers after St Mirren vice-chairman Jim Gillespie pulled out of talks.
Gillespie, 46, pulled out of talks to become Rangers CEO at the eleventh hour and chairman John Bennett is now looking for alternatives.
Bevington boasts extensive experience at the highest level of football, having had prominent roles at Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and spending 18 years with the English FA.
In October 2022, Bevington resigned as a Non Executive Director at League Two side Hartlepool United and has since taken a job at a German football agency.
Rangers have been searching for a new CEO since Bisgrove left the club to join Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah in June.
