"Both Stewart and Thelwell were heavily criticised following a dismal start to the season for Rangers, which led to the dismissal of manager Russell Martin in October. Martin was removed from his role having won just five of his 17 games in charge in all competitions. At that point, Rangers were in eighth in the Scottish Premiership and had endured the ignominy of failing to get through to the league phase of this season's Champions League."
""We've now had six months since we became part of Rangers to assess the club's needs as well as to get to know Patrick and Kev a bit more," said Cavenagh. "And, simply put, when we think about what we need in both a CEO and sporting director today, it's different than who we think Patrick and Kev are. "We want people that align with the vision for the next chapter.""
Rangers have removed CEO Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell with immediate effect after sustained criticism linked to a poor start to the season and European failure. Manager Russell Martin was sacked in October after winning only five of 17 matches and failure to reach the Champions League group stage left the club in eighth in the Premiership. Domestic form has improved under Danny Rohl to fourth place, but a winless Europa League start intensified scrutiny of recruitment and sporting strategy. Chairman Andrew Cavenagh said the two executives did not fit the club's vision; Fraser Thornton will act as CEO.
