Rangers appoint Bjornebye as interim advisor

Rangers have appointed Stig Inge Bjornebye as football consultant and advisor for an initial period of around six months,

The former Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool and Norway player starts immediately and will report to chairman Andrew Cavenagh.

Bjornebye, who has also held the Norway assistant and IK Start head coach roles, worked as a sporting director at Rosenborg, where he also played, and Danish club Aarhus.

Rangers continue to look for a sporting director following Kevin Thelwell's departure. Chief executive Patrick Stewart left at the same time and Fraser Thornton is covering that role on an interim basis.
