I don't think he was at Burnley very long
RANGERS Football Club is today delighted to announce the appointment of Frank McParland as Head of Recruitment.
The 56 year-old has been working as Sporting Director at Burnley, and has gained a wealth of experience at various clubs over an impressive career.
A boyhood Liverpool fan, McParland enjoyed two spells on the red half of Merseyside. He worked firstly as Chief Scout between 2003 and 2007, and is credited with unearthing Raheem Sterling and Jordan Ibe in his second spell when working as Director of Academy and Player Development from 2009 to 2013.
He has previously worked alongside
Mark Warburton as Director of Football at Brentford before leaving London at the same time as the current Rangers manager during the summer of 2015.
In addition, he also worked as Director of Football at Watford Football Club between 2008 and 2009.
McParland is the latest appointment to be made at Rangers as the club strives to modernise, move forward and return to the highest echelons of the game.
New benchmarks and standards must be set both on and off the field of play, and everyone at Rangers wishes Frank the very best in his new role.
