Ross Wilson and his rise to Rangers sporting director sparked by car park plea for a chance

Sporting director Ross Wilson helped Rangers get back on the road to glory.

He has put the finishing touches to a squad that has motored towards a recent Premiership crown, last season’s Scottish Cup and faced the heartbreak of a penalty shootout defeat in the Europa League Final. Wilson is now the man at the heart of Rangers’ transfer activity as they gear up for another big summer that they hope will lead Giovanni van Bronckhors t side to the money-spinning Champions League and even more silverware.

It has been some journey for Wilson since he made his football dream a reality. The determined 21-year-old refused to get out of a Falkirk employee’s car until the Bairns gave him an opportunity. Wilson got his chance in a player-liaison role and never looked back, stepping up the ranks before he moved on to Watford and then landed major roles at Huddersfield, Southampton and ultimately the top job at Rangers.
