Rangers figure leaves behind the scenes role 'with immediate effect' as Ibrox chief expresses gratitude
Behind the scenes figure was appointed communications officer in last year
Rangers chief operations and communications officer Greig Mailer has left his role at Ibrox ‘with immediate effect’ in a behind the scenes reshuffle.
Having previously worked at Hibs, Manchester United and Brentford, Mailer was appointed the role at Ibrox in April 2025. Since then, he’s worked under the likes of former CEO Patrick Stewart and chairman Andrew Cavenagh, as well as current chief Jim Gillespie, who explained the reason for the shake-up in a latter to Rangers staff.
According to the Rangers Review, Mailer will leave the club ‘with immediate effect’ as the Ibrox side look to enter a new era of ‘growth and success’. In Gillespie’s letter, he explains that a more hands on approach to communication is to be expected and that Mailer wasn’t able to fulfil this.
Rangers behind the scenes leaves role
He wrote: “Greig has been an outstanding ambassador for the Club during his time with us and he has made a significant contribution, both to the departments he has led, and to the wider leadership team, of which he has been a trusted and valued member. He has demonstrated strong leadership in everything he has done and has played a significant role in driving the Club forward during a period of change.
“We will all miss his professionalism, work ethic, friendship, and support. As the Club positions itself for a new chapter of growth and success, we feel strongly that, following recent management changes, the leaders across the business need to have a full-time presence in Glasgow. Unfortunately, Greig’s established family caring responsibilities in England, and the working arrangements which were agreed when he joined us almost two years ago, are not compatible with this requirement.”
Mailer thanked for 19 months of service
Having spent almost two years in Govan, Mailer’s biggest accomplishment was helping to create the Rangers Fan Advisory Board. Gillespie was keen to express gratitude to the 46-year old, who was once corporate communications manager at Old Trafford and had a similar role at Hibs.
He continued: “I would like to thank Greig for his support, trust, and wise counsel, particularly over recent months, it has been greatly appreciated. I am sure everyone will join me in wishing him and his family every success in the future and he will always be very welcome back at Ibrox.”
