Chukwuani nears Rangers deal & Gillespie set for CEO role
"Rangers are set to announce the signing of midfielder Tochi Chukwuani from Austrian club Sturm Graz before Sunday's game at Aberdeen and confirm St Mirren vice-chairman Jim Gillespie as their new chief executive early next week. The Scottish Premiership club are also working on a deal to sign left-back Tuur Rommens from Belgian club Westerloo, but it could be late next week before that move is completed."
"Gillespie, 47, has been heavily linked with the chief executive position at Ibrox since Patrick Stewart left in November. As well as being an influential force at St Mirren, Gillespie is CEO of the children's charity The Kibble. A Rangers supporter, he was linked with the role when James Bisgrove left Rangers to move to Saudi Arabia just before the 2024-25 season. Gillespie spoke to then-chairman John Bennett about moving to Ibrox, but a switch did not materialise."
Rangers will sign Denmark under-21 midfielder Tochi Chukwuani from Sturm Graz before the game at Aberdeen and will confirm St Mirren vice-chairman Jim Gillespie as chief executive early next week. The club is working on a deal to bring in Belgian under-21 left-back Tuur Rommens from Westerlo, though that move may not complete until late next week. Chairman Andrew Cavenagh has identified a left-back, a defensive midfielder, creativity and goals as transfer priorities. Chukwuani, 22, has predominantly played on the left side of midfield this season. Rommens, 22, began his career at Genk and attracted interest from Feyenoord.
