WadeWilson 4,670 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 RANGERS are in talks to bring Gordon Durie back to the club.SunSport understands the Nine-in-a-row legend could return as a youth or reserve coach.A vacancy remains on the backroom staff after reserve boss Tommy Wilson quit for a coaching post in America at the end of last season.Ex-Ibrox striker Durie, 47, has been out of work since resigning as East Fife boss in November 2012 due to ill health.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Score for fun in div 2 !! He was quite sick for a while and had to give up a management position due to this so I hope he is fine now - don't see anything wrong with bringing back an ex player as a coach!

mac444 6 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Don't see a problem personally did well the time he was at east fife as manager.I'm sure there would be no complaints if it was Brian Laudrup being linked, and they both have very similar coaching careers so far ie nothing for very long or at a high level.

allgers 735 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Pheeew, thought we were going to sign him as a striker for a minute there.As a coach, well if Ally wants to bring him in he must be rubbish, heaven forbid that he might be a success at the youth team, cause we don't want success do we!!!

scarkev 3,540 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Fantastic more jobs for the boys and McCoists palsWe should have took bets to see who was first to use the 'jobs for the boys' patter! Funny nobody mentioned that when the new fitness coach came in despite being pals with kenny and ally?Durie has experience of management at senior level, he was always a fit guy as a player and knows the standards expected at the club! As a replacement for tommy Wilson as reserve/youth coach it would be a good appointment!It's the scouting department I want us to be sorting out over the next few months now....very important long term!

He's still a pal of ally's so is that not a job for one of the boys?Durie may have been a great coach for all you or I know, illness cut short his spell at east fife unfortunatly and as I say as a reserve team manager it would be a good appointment! I do think that it wouldn't hurt to get a new 1st team coach in with fresh ideas to help ally but that's not what this appointment is for!
