John Park joins Rangers as former Celtic transfer guru 'appointed' to senior Ibrox scouting role

Former Celtic talent spotter John Park has reportedly taken on a top scouting position at Rangers as sporting director Ross Wilson reshapes the recruitment department.

The 64-year-old was lauded for his vital role at Celtic in helping assemble a squad which would dominate Scottish football and secure a historic quadruple Treble. Virgil van Dijk, Moussa Dembele, Fraser Forster and Victor Wanyama were among his hits as he landed a host of gems at a bargain before being sold for a significant profit, with Ryan Christie the last signing of his 14 year spell in Glasgow's east end.

Park moved to Sunderland after Brendan Rodgers arrived and wanted his own man Lee Congerton to oversee transfer dealings in Glasgow's east end. After leaving Parkhead in 2016, the recruitment specialist worked with Tony Mowbray at Blackburn Rovers last term and helped rebuild the Ewood Park side into Championship playoff contenders, but left the club at the end of last season.
