Rangers have not approached Brighton's head of recruitment Sam Jewell over becoming the club's new technical director.
This is according to club sources who have rubbished the link to the 31-year-old after transfer guru Fabrizio Romano had previously stated the Light Blues were interested in the Englishman.
Ibrox CEO James Bisgrove confirmed yesterday, during the official unveiling of new boss Philippe Clement, that Rangers hope to appoint a director of football imminently.
Bisgrove said: "We feel we have got a really strong group of leaders that will implement the strategy and take key decisions, whether that's player contracts or player acquisitions.
"But all of that said, we do believe a director of football, a technical director is something that would add additional value and it's a live conversation that we are having at the moment."
Asked when an appointment could be made, he added: "Certainly in the next few weeks, if not months. We are having live conversations at the moment.
"There are variables in that, depending on the individuals that the board believes, football board and Philippe feels has the best fit.
"But, I believe it will be imminent."
Jewell was previously an opposition scout for Newport County and chief scout at Swindon Town before making the move to Brighton in 2018.
He then progressed through the ranks of the club and became head of recruitment after Dan Ashwork joined Newcastle.
The 31-year-old was key in the signing of Moises Caicedo, who recently joined Chelsea for £115million during the summer transfer window.
