Walter looks that way, on lots of sites now, wonder if that is instead of a Scottish coach.

Do you guys there’s there’s a chance of the city group buying us at some point? We seem to have a good relationship with them?

He seems to be a very clever man DR Ceri Bowley so god knows what his official role will be because he has done quite a few things up to now. Giovanni van Bronckhorst is understood to be adding another first-team coach to his Rangers staff this summer with City Football Group’s Ceri Bowley set to join in the coming weeks.

Bowley has held his role as head of coaching support since 2019 and worked closely with Van Bronckhorst during the Dutchman’s six months at CFG.

They have maintained a close relationship since and he has been recruited to join Dave Vos, Roy Makaay and Arno Phillips as his trusted assistants.

His role at CFG covers coach recruitment, coach development and the overall football methodology employed by the network of clubs.

Van Bronckhorst went to learn from their style of play after taking a sabbatical from management following his four seasons in charge of Feyenoord.

Bowley was his main contact and it is understood his role will be a wide-ranging one at Ibrox once he arrives.

Some outgoing members of staff at CFG are being made to work their notice in full so an exact timeline for his appointment is not yet known.

He is expected to join in the new few weeks though as Van Bronckhorst looks to implement the building blocks for the season ahead.

Bowley has an academic background having gained a PhD in sports psychology and coaching science from Cardiff Metropolitan University, before working as a researcher and a lecturer in sports science.

Bowley was the central figure for coaches at City to liaise with, having spent time at the FA in a coach education capacity.

I think the relationship is there with Gio. I don't think they’d buy us mate personally.

The city group are already unofficially linked to Celtic. Their manager was recommended to them by the city group and Liewell's son has strong links to them. I believe the only reason it's not official is that there is a requirement for City Group teams to wear blue shirts.

No chance Dado SFA rules means that it wouldn’t be approved. Ashley was stopped from buying more shares if it took him over a 15% stake in us due to his ownership of Newcastle.
