Greig Mailer Leaves Rangers as Family Responsibilities Clash With Glasgow Role

Greig Mailer has left Rangers after 19 months, becoming the latest senior figure to depart during a reshuffle at the Scottish club. Chief executive Jim Gillespie told staff that Mailer’s family caring responsibilities in England were a key factor in the decision. Mailer joined Rangers as chief financial officer in April 2025, following the takeover involving Andrew Cavenagh and investment from the San Francisco 49ers group. He worked with former chief executive Patrick Stewart and, more recently, Gillespie. The exit comes after technical director Dan Purdy stepped down and former finance chief James Taylor left for West Ham. According to the Rangers Review, Gillespie praised Mailer’s contribution in a letter to staff, describing him as an outstanding ambassador and a trusted member of the club’s leadership team. He credited Mailer with strong leadership and said his work had helped Rangers move forward during a period of change. Gillespie also explained that the club now believes its business leaders need to be based full-time in Glasgow as it prepares for what he called a new chapter. Mailer’s existing family caring commitments in England, and the working arrangement agreed when he joined, could not be reconciled with that requirement, the chief executive reportedly wrote. The letter thanked Mailer for his support and advice, particularly in recent months, and said he would always be welcome back at Ibrox. Rangers has not been quoted as announcing a replacement in the account of his departure. His exit adds another change at senior level as the club adjusts its leadership structure.
