LA Galaxy technical director Jovan Kirovski was spotted at Ibrox as he took a seat in the director’s boss to watch Rangers romp Aberdeen 5-0.
The director of the MLS side would’ve been impressed by what he saw at Ibrox but the motivations behind his visit are still unclear.
Kirovski was snapped by Rangers photographer Willie Vass and the image placed online via Vass’ photoshelter account.
The sighting of the LA Galaxy director comes as Rangers go through two major off-pitch evolutions.
Former Rangers technical director Mark Allen left the club in September citing family reasons [Rangers] after helping Steven Gerrard bulk out his Ibrox squad.
There’s been no official suggestion as to who will replace the recruitment guru and whilst this is no suggestion Jovan Kirovski will, it’s interesting he’s taken in the game at this time.
Rangers have also recently announced a commercial and footballing partnership with Indian Super League champions Bengaluru FC [Rangers].
The move is about increasing the Ibrox club’s profile in India whilst also sharing expertise and hopefully unearthing emerging Indian talent.
Again, there is no official suggestion that Rangers are looking towards a marketing partnership with LA Galaxy or any MLS club but it is interesting Kirovski was at Ibrox so soon after the Bengaluru announcement.
Of course, Steven Gerrard once played for LA Galaxy were Kirovski has been since 2009 in various capacities, including as a player.
The former right-winger had an established career which saw him play for Manchester United as a youth, win the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund and earn 63 caps and score 10 goals for the United States national team.
It might just be the case of an old friend or contact of Gerrard’s visiting Glasgow and being invited along to watch the game.
Whatever the case, Kirovski’s presence at Ibrox for the 5-0 demolition of Aberdeen was certainly a noticeable one.
