Nils Koppen Rangers role leap is back to front as Saturday Jury names Celtic transfer necessity

ANDY NEWPORT: It’s hard to know given he’s never done the job before. His previous postings at PSV and Genk involved scouting and recruitment so its quite the leap to give him a wider role at Ibrox. Yet again this Gers board seem to enjoy remarkable good fortune when it comes to filling senior exec rolls,
with the best candidate for the job amazingly already in-house.

SCOTT BURNS: There are a lot of problems to currently solve at Ibrox. He certainly can't solve them all but he has been doing a lot of the work behind the scenes in recent weeks. It is a good appointment and a start but now the club needs a chairman and a chief executive for starters.

FRASER WILSON: Rangers appear to be filling roles the wrong way round, from the bottom up, which won’t solve anything quickly. They needed a new CEO in months ago. That has to be the priority. Then a chairman. Only time will tell if Koppen is a good fit for his wide ranging new role.

FRASER: Huge. Taylor is still under-appreciated by some and domestically is as good a left back as there is. Brendan Rodgers is eager to keep hold of the player who at 27 should be entering his
