Scottish Rangers Chair Somers Says Derek Llambias 'May Not Be' Club's New CEO

Scottish Championship side Rangers Chair David Somers has hinted shareholder Mike Ashley's right-hand man Derek Llambias "may not end up being the club's new chief executive," according to the PA. Somers has "stepped up from his non-executive role to take full command" of the club for the "time being" as it searches for former CEO Graham Wallace's replacement. It was "thought that role would go to" Llambias. Somers said on Thursday that Llambias is "yet to even apply for the Light Blues' top job." Somers: "I don't think I should say (how many people have applied for the chief executive role) at this point. I have got some head-hunters helping me look for people. I can't confirm that (Llambias has applied). ... I was looking at his CV but he hasn't actually applied. He hasn't actually said anything to me. He is here as a consultant" (PA, 10/31).
