They would call what Nils Koppen is trying to do at Rangers “double jobbing” in the political world.

It’s the attempt to be two places at once, multi-tasking while avoiding falling between two stools. A large proportion of the Ibrox support do not support Koppen’s elevation to the role of technical director. Supporters were critical of Koppen when sourcing players was all he had to worry about. Is it feasible, at a club the size of Rangers, that the one man can now assume responsibility for transfers, operations, analysis, the youth academy and medical matters?

There’s multi-tasking then there’s running around in never-decreasing circles. It should fall on a CEO to make appointments like the one the Belgian has been handed. So when are Rangers going to appoint a CEO? And what happens if they do and he doesn’t fancy multi-taskers and would rather it was a case of one man, one job?
