New Rangers CEO pictured arriving at Ibrox for first day

Partick Stewart has checked in at Ibrox on his first day as the new CEO of Rangers.

The former Manchester United interim chief executive officially starts in his role at the Scottish Premiership side today.

It was announced on Monday, November 25 that Stewart would be assuming the position vacated by James Bisgrove in the summer after he opted to depart for Saudi Arabia.

Now, after the delayed start date, Stewart has been pictured arriving at Ibrox on his first day.

Sky Sports have shared footage online from one of the car parks at Ibrox, as Stewart entered the building this morning.

At the time of the announcement, interim chairman John Gilligan said: “On behalf of the board, I’m delighted to welcome Patrick to the club as CEO.

“Patrick comes with an excellent reputation and background, bringing extensive experience of operating at senior levels during his 20-plus years in football.

“The board continues in discussions with several excellent candidates for the role of Chairperson and expects to make an announcement of an appointment in the coming weeks.”

Fraser Thornton also started his new job as chairman of Rangers today too.

Thorton is a boyhood fan of Rangers and takes over from Gilligan. The appointment was announced last week.
