In a surprising turn of events, Rangers have announced that Sean Jefferson will be stepping in as the interim chief commercial officer, replacing the outgoing Karim Varani.

His experience in the sports and entertainment industry positions him as a valuable asset to the Scottish Premiership giants as they navigate the commercial landscape and seek to enhance their partnerships.
Since departing from Old Trafford last year, Jefferson has been involved in launching SportValue, a consultancy focused on unlocking value in the world of sports. His expertise in providing guidance to rights-holders, media and entertainment firms, agencies, and sports technology companies will undoubtedly benefit Rangers as they look to maximize their commercial potential.
Looking Towards the Future
As Jefferson steps into his new role at Rangers, fans and stakeholders alike will be watching closely to see how he leverages his experience and expertise to drive the club’s commercial success. While his appointment is currently temporary, there is anticipation and excitement surrounding the potential for a permanent acquisition in the future.
It’s clear that Jefferson’s arrival marks a new chapter for Rangers, one that holds promise for enhanced partnerships, increased value for businesses, and a better experience for the fans. As the club moves forward with Jefferson at the helm, the future looks bright for Rangers and their commercial endeavors.
