Ross Wilson 'agrees' Rangers exit for Nottingham Forest as he lands wider ranging role at EPL side

Ross Wilson has 'agreed' his move away from Rangers to join Nottingham Forest – according to a report.

It was claimed that the side fighting for Premier League survival were confident of getting their man after opening talks with the sporting director to replace Filippo Giraldi, who has been sacked after six months in the role. Wilson has been in position at Ibrox since the autumn of 2019 and is now making the move back to England, where he has previously been with Southampton and Watford. The Telegraph now reports he's accepted an offer from Forest to take on a "wider ranging" role than the one he fulfilled in Glasgow.

He has watched Rangers win the Premiership and Scottish Cup during his time in Glasgow alongside a run to the Europa League final. He has also brought in big bucks with Joe Aribo, Calvin Bassey and Nathan Patterson sales, although allowing Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent to run down their contracts have proven points of criticism. Fans have also launched protests against him and other members of the Rangers hierarchy since the turn of the year.
