In a moment that has sent waves of excitement throughout the Rangers faithful and the wider Scottish Premiership community, Rangers FC head coach Derek McInnes has officially confirmed that club legend John Greig is returning to Ibrox—this time not as a player, but in a vital leadership role as the club’s new Senior Consultant.

The announcement has sparked widespread celebration among supporters, many of whom regard Greig as one of the greatest figures in Rangers’ illustrious history. His return is being seen as a major step toward strengthening the club’s culture, identity, and long-term ambitions both on and off the pitch.

Speaking after the announcement, McInnes praised Greig’s unmatched legacy and the wealth of experience he brings to the organization.

“John Greig represents everything Rangers Football Club stands for. His leadership, commitment, and understanding of this club are second to none. Having him back with us is fantastic for the players, the coaching staff, and everyone associated with Rangers.”

Greig, who captained Rangers during one of the most successful periods in the club’s history, is expected to serve as a mentor to players and staff while providing strategic guidance to the football department. His deep understanding of the club’s traditions and winning mentality is expected to play a key role in helping Rangers compete at the highest level.

Fans quickly flooded social media with emotional messages welcoming the iconic former captain back to Ibrox. Many described the appointment as “the perfect move” and praised the club for bringing one of its greatest ever servants back into the fold.

Although no longer pulling on the famous blue jersey, Greig’s influence is expected to be just as significant from the sidelines. His presence is set to inspire the next generation of Rangers stars while reinforcing the values that have defined the club for generations.

As Rangers continue building for the future under Derek McInnes, the return of John Greig signals a renewed commitment to the club’s proud heritage while striving for more domestic and European success. For supporters, this is more than just an appointment—it is the homecoming of a true Rangers legend whose passion and loyalty remain as strong as ever.‏
