Nils Koppen was recently made Technical Director at the Light Blues following his arrival as director of football recruitment earlier this year [BBC, 19 November].Weir is Brighton’s technical director at the moment, and McFadden can’t see the former Gers defender leaving the Seagulls.
“I know he’s at Brighton, he’s at a big club. But he obviously loves Rangers,” Si Ferry said on the Open Goal podcast. “See that director of football, is that not perfect for David Weir?”
McFadden responded: “No chance. It’s perfect for them… No.”Rangers are in disarray at the moment, both on and off the pitch, with the Glaswegian giants without a CEO and permanent chairman for months.
Brighton have been one of the most successful teams in the Premier League off the pitch in recent years, especially with their astute business in the transfer market.
