Background
Rangers Football Club, formed in 1872, is one of the world’s longest established and most successful clubs, having won 55 League titles, 34 Scottish Cups, 28 League Cups and the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1972.
Few clubs can match Rangers for history, heritage, and tradition, and it resides in the top 10 strongest football brands according to the YouGov UK Brand Index.
Playing at the iconic 51,700 seat Ibrox Stadium and benefitting from a world-class 37-acre training facility, the club has been a leading light in Scottish, British and European football for decades.
The club benefits from a famously loyal support and the high volume of season ticket uptake means the club features in the top 19 average attendances in Europe. It is estimated that Rangers has a global fanbase of 4m, half of which are based in the UK.
Job title: First Team Scout
Reporting line: Head of Scouting Operations
Department: Scouting
Locations: Remote
Contract: Permanent, Full time
The role
We are looking for a First Team Scout to join the Scouting department at the club. Working in conjunction with the Head of Scouting Operations, the First Team Scout’s remit is to have a comprehensive awareness of senior and emerging talent footballers playing within their designated region. Whilst scouts will be designated a specific region, they will be expected to work outside of their area to support the overall scouting process and be able to compare their work.
Scouts are responsible for providing the club with a comprehensive awareness of all professional talent playing in their region. They should therefore have a forensic knowledge of teams, the squad depths and be comfortable being able to articulate their style of play. This knowledge is fundamental to the First Team Scout’s primary objective of finding individuals who are capable of “playing and winning for Rangers FC”.
The First Team Scout must be able to operate in a modern digital framework and be comfortable building a picture on a player from video before going to see them in the live setting.
