Rangers interim chairman John Gilligan says the recruitment of a new chief executive is his “main priority”.
The Ibrox club have been without a chief executive since James Bisgrove departed for the Middle East in the spring.
Gilligan – who is in interim charge after John Bennett stepped down for health reasons – expects movement in the next “few months”.
“I will stay on as long as required,” he said. “The main priority is to get a chief executive.
“We are working on that right away. I can stay on indefinitely, I am expecting a few months and a chairman to come in too.”
When asked what he would be looking for in a potential hire, Gilligan said: “Recruitment in any walk of life is of the moment. The person needs to be multi-faceted and good at everything.
“He needs to be an assertive character and we are looking much more to provide for the CEO via the chairman.
“And also for the CEO to have a lot of power day to day and the chairman to be slightly behind that.”
Gilligan also dismissed the prospect of an extraordinary general meeting, as proposed by major shareholder Dave King, who wants to return to his previous role as chairman.
“Again, it is a bit unrealistic because EGMs are invariably called by people who wish to change something,” Gilligan said.
“But the current board don’t wish to change. So why would we call an EGM?”
