Playing catch up here. Kenny McDowall officially left Rangers having handed in his notice the other month, ahead of the game against Livingston at the weekend.
Having joined us back in 2007 the new board of the club were quick to praise his long service and the role he has played at Ibrox during numerous difficult years – not least this season taking on the interim manager role.
The full announcement for anyone who hasn’t seen it can be found on the Official Site.
‘Kenny has worked under some of the most challenging conditions in the Club`s recent history and we thank him for his hard work, commitment and dedication – not just as interim manager but also his previous years as assistant manager to Ally McCoist and first team coach under Walter Smith. Kenny is a decent and honourable man who played a key role in the Club`s success – which included top flight league titles, Scottish Cup and League Cup triumphs as well as the 2008 UEFA Cup run – and that will never be forgotten. He was given an extremely difficult role as interim manager but worked tirelessly in order to improve the Club`s fortunes and he will always be welcome at Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park.’
Interim Chairman Paul Murray added.
‘Everyone at Rangers Football Club thanks Kenny for his contribution and we will never forget the part he played in our success since he joined under Walter Smith in 2007. He is a man of integrity and honour and gave everything during his time at the Club. Kenny worked under extremely challenging circumstances in recent months but he always gave everything he could to try to secure results for the football club. He will always be welcome.’
McDowall said himself as his departure was confirmed.
‘It was an honour and privilege to work for Rangers Football Club and I will leave with so many positive memories. I have worked with so many talented people since I joined and I will forever be in Walter Smith`s debt for bringing me to Rangers. Working with Walter, Ally McCoist, Ian Durrant, Jim Stewart and all the backroom staff plus the staff at Ibrox and Murray Park was a pleasure and I wish the Club well for the future. I was delighted to play a part in the Club`s history and I wish the supporters and new management team all the very best.’
