With the January transfer window being discussed can EHL, or anyone who knows, educate me. How does Rangers go about identifying players, do we have full time/ part time scouts, where are they based and when the management structure changes does the whole scouting system change also.

Our head of recruitment Thelwell Jnr will identify targets and present them to his father Thelwell Snr. Snr will negotiate with his friend Dan Purdy and said target will be acquired for a vastly inflated fee.

We have the 26yr old boss of bosses in player recruitment, Thelwell jr is going to unearth some absolute, world class players very soon. Have no doubts about it.

This season we have brought in Kevin Thelwell to be the head man in charge of footballing operations. He has surrounded himself with his friends and his family. They scour every corner in every country in the land sourcing the very best world wide talent. They follow a very stringent and thorough process and also work tirelessly 25/ 8 taking their duties extremely seriously.
Luckily for Rangers every player that they identify plays in England and they all come from their friends who are agents or ex clubs or employers etc. Kevin has an uncanny knack of finding the best talent that helps out his friends more than it helps Rangers.

Thelwell and his son play Fifa together after dinner most nights at home then see what players have good stats and then contact the agent of said player by snapchat.

AllyMac, their recruitment would have been better had they actually done that ?.
28 Oct 2025 13:31:34
Thelwell must be the luckiest man alive all the most qualified for the jobs at our club just happened to all be on his phone.
28 Oct 2025 13:49:23
Let's wait and see how the players he brought in do this season, I remember Cerny get slated as a poor loan at one point a few months in, Igamane wasn't up to it and Jefte poor. Even Dio and Raskin at some points. A few players will surprise possibly.

It's a complicated process and structure. We have access to player data that we will use to monitor players of varying ages, experience and positions - this will be track thousands of players.
Purdy will work with all the age groups across both the mens and the womens squads to to identify their requirements and understand the various recruitment scenarios (Immediate gap, player we know is moving, a player we may potentially move etc).
Depending on that scenario Thelwell Jnr may advance the recruitment to more in-depth scouting/ monitoring - usually through third party scouting networks to begin with and there will be 100s of players at this stage - all with detailed scouting portfolios.
These are then discussed in detail with the relevant coaches and the finance teams which would prioritise those for internal scouting, then decisions on signing are made collectively based on the output.
Obviously a new manager will have specific players they know of who they will feed in to the process.

Yeah all the English dross from their friends, except all the players that don't fit that narartive like Miovski, Antman, Cornelious not from UK. Meghoma, Aarons, Moore, Rothwell, Gassama, Fernandez, Aasgaard also had no connection to any of them. Really people don't like Chermiti or Djiga so make up this nonsense and think of they repeat it every day on here it will become fact.
There is a full scouting department of people to identify players and a proper structure to assess them so that it doesn't come down to one persons opinion.

The Toxicity has to cease now or we will never move forward. I get it that people dislike what we've seen thus far from Thelwell, Stewart and Co., nothing will change in the near future, so we all, myself included as a doubter, need to bee 100% behind the Club, and Danny Rahl in particular.
Onwards and Upwards folks, we've given to much respect to the other teams in this league in the past.
28 Oct 2025 15:47:30
Correct cheers ?.
28 Oct 2025 15:49:39
Sorry Huey, i stand corrected and thanks for pointing out that only 80% of their signings came from England, haha. All my faith in them has now been restored.
28 Oct 2025 16:39:18
Thanks EHL.
28 Oct 2025 20:00:57
EHL, thanks for the detailed explanation of how it's supposed to work.
Proof of the pudding on how we're are not using that method is the signing of Chermiti.
Basically brought in A lad he knew personally who statistically is very poor of late.
Personally don't think the recruitment department is fit for purpose and are bordering on negligent.
Nils Koppen for me was starting to understand the demands of this league and club at the time he left and for me would have done a far better job.

They found Fabio Silva and Djiga amongst other very costly errors at Wolves.
