The announcement has been met with overwhelming excitement, as one of the most iconic figures in Rangers history prepares to begin a new chapter with the club he once captained, managed, and helped define.
John Greig is widely regarded as one of the greatest players ever to wear the famous blue shirt. A former captain, defender, and later manager, Greig’s legacy at Rangers is unmatched in leadership and loyalty.
Now, decades after his playing days, Greig is set to return—not as a player this time, but as a senior member of the club’s leadership and football structure, working closely with the coaching and development setup at Ibrox.
His return is being seen as a powerful statement of identity and tradition from the club, reconnecting modern Rangers with one of its most respected figures.

With Greig’s experience and influence now back at Ibrox, supporters believe his presence could inspire a new era of pride and performance.
