Rather than returning as a player, Hateley is said to be taking on a senior club role, where his experience, leadership, and deep understanding of Rangers&#8217; culture would be invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>The news has sparked excitement among supporters, many of whom remember Hateley&#8217;s memorable goals, commitment, and success during his playing days. Fans believe his return would inspire both the first-team squad and the next generation of academy players, while reinforcing the winning mentality that has defined Rangers throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rangers supporters have been
