THE KING RETURNS: John Greig Steps Into the Rangers Dugout
IBROX STADIUM — The atmosphere at Auchenhowie was described as “absolutely electrified” this morning as the greatest Ranger of them all, John Greig, officially stepped back onto the training pitch in a senior coaching capacity.
Dressed in the famous royal blue training gear, the 83-year-old icon—who made 755 appearances for the club—was greeted with a standing ovation from players and staff alike. Manager Danny Röhl reportedly personally requested Greig’s presence to instill the “Ibrox standards” into the squad for the final weeks of the 2026 title race.
Speaking to the team for the first time, Greig explained that his return is about more than just tactics. “I am coming back to take this team to where it belongs,” Greig told the gathered squad. “This club is built on a foundation of winning, and my job is to ensure every player wearing that badge understands the weight of the history they are carrying.”
The move has sent shockwaves of excitement through the Rangers support. For many, seeing “The Wall” back in an active role is the ultimate morale boost as the club pushes for a historic Premiership and Cup double.
