Rangers announcement met with ‘abject disappointment’
Four Lads Had a Dream’s Stevie Clifford has been left fuming as Rangers made Nils Koppen their Technical Director.
The club made an official announcement on Tuesday, 19 November, that the Director of Recruitment had been promoted to a role that will see him taking responsibility for the academy, medical, football operations, performance and analysis departments.
Philippe Clement will work in tandem with Koppen on a daily basis post this development.
Clifford wrote in the Rangers Review on 22 November: “Nils Koppen’s recent promotion has been met with abject disappointment, many asking why once again we are promoting people who are ill-qualified, or have very little experience, into key roles at the football club?
“Worse still, why are we doing this with no chairman or CEO in place? That isn’t my view exclusively where I am shouting into a void, that’s the view of a lot of supporters and a quick scan of the social media reaction to the news shows an unhealthy level of trust for those running the football club.”

Koppen’s rapid ascent has raised eyebrows among fans and observers alike.
His promotion, encompassing oversight of critical areas like the academy and football operations, comes without the backing of a permanent chairman or CEO, which underscores the perceived disarray in the club’s management structure.
Koppen’s relatively brief tenure and experience might not suffice for such a pivotal role, especially in a club with Rangers’ stature and expectations.
