Rangers chief financial officer Greig Mailer has left the club after 19 months in the role, becoming the latest key figure to depart Ibrox during an ongoing behind-the-scenes reshuffle.
Mailer was appointed in April 2025 as part of the takeover by Andrew Cavenagh and the San Francisco 49ers investment group, working closely with former chief executive Patrick Stewart and more recently with new chief Jim Gillespie.
Family Responsibilities Behind Departure
His exit follows the departure of technical director Dan Purdy and chief financial officer James Taylor, the latter having left for West Ham. Gillespie has explained that Mailer's family caring responsibilities in England were a key factor in his decision to leave.
According to the Rangers Review, Gillespie told staff: "Greig has been an outstanding ambassador for the club during his time with us and he has made a significant contribution, both to the departments he has led, and to the wider leadership team, of which he has been a trusted and valued member."
Club Looks to Full-Time Glasgow Presence
Gillespie added that the club now requires leaders across the business to have a full-time presence in Glasgow following recent management changes, a requirement that is not compatible with Mailer's established working arrangements agreed when he joined almost two years ago.
He said: "As the club positions itself for a new chapter of growth and success, we feel strongly that, following recent management changes, the leaders across the business need to have a full-time presence in Glasgow. Unfortunately, Greig's established family caring responsibilities in England, and the working arrangements which were agreed when he joined us almost two years ago, are not compatible with this requirement."
Gillespie thanked Mailer for his support, trust, and wise counsel, and said he would always be very welcome back at Ibrox.
