Rangers appoint Fraser Thornton as new chairman
Rangers have appointed Fraser Thornton as their new chairman.
Thornton, currently interim chair of Scottish Golf, starts on Monday along with new chief executive Patrick Stewart.
Rangers' interim chairman, John Gilligan, said: "On behalf of the board, I'm delighted to welcome Fraser to the club as chair.
"As a lifelong supporter and season-ticket holder, he has a deep knowledge of the club which together with a highly successful executive track record and an impressive range of non-executive experience makes him an excellent fit for this role.
"We look forward to welcoming him, and our CEO Patrick Stewart to their new roles, on Monday.
"My time as interim chair of our club has been a wonderful and emotional experience. My sincere thanks goes to the board for their trust in me, and for their support during this time."
Raised in Glasgow, Thornton graduated from the University of Stirling before qualifying as a Chartered Accountant with Price Waterhouse in Glasgow in 1993.
Between 1996 and 2021, he held multiple executive leadership positions in international businesses working across several regions of the world.
He was a council member of the Scotch Whisky Association for 15 years until 2021. Since then Thornton has held several non-executive positions.
