Three former Rangers stars are celebrating a new job in recent days – as one of them hints he’d like to one day return to Ibrox as manager.
Former Gers B team manager Kevin Thomson is celebrating his first senior job as manager as he replaces Barry Ferguson at Kelty Hearts.
Ex-Ibrox teammate Fergie guided Kelty to League Two through the playoff system, knocking Brechin City out of the SPFL and earning the Fife club a place in the 42-member system for the first time.
The Gers legend has since earned a shot at the Scottish Championship with Alloa Athletic.
Thomson would then come in to replace Fergie in League Two and – as he talked up the opportunity – hinted that one day he views himself in the Ibrox hotseat currently occupied by Steven Gerrard.
“This is not a decision I took lightly,” said Thomson [Courier].
“I’ve left a wonderful club that were incredibly good to me and, in turn, I’d like to think I was a good ambassador for Rangers.
“But ultimately, if I want to be the Rangers manager in the future — or a manager at the top level — then Kelty Hearts is a brilliant place for me to learn my trade.”
To top off the ex-Ibrox merry-go-round former Gers striker Billy Dodds has also just been announced at Championship side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Dodds has signed a two-year deal at the Tulloch Stadium and joins the club after serving as assistant to another Gers star in Neil McCann in the second half of last season.
Neil had been invited to take caretaker charge of the club as John Robertson takes some time out of the game.
Here’s why Barry Ferguson’s move to Alloa Athletic has been viewed as controversial in the eyes of some Ibrox supporters.
