Kai Watson has confirmed that he is keen on taking up a permanent position at Rangers.

Kai Watson sends in application as Rangers eye new first-team scout

Rangers took to LinkedIn to announce that they are looking for a new scout for their first team.

There has been plenty of restructuring since the takeover in 2025, and plans are underway to reshape their scouting department as well.

Watson, who has worked as a first-team scout for a Finnish club, took to X to confirm that he has applied for the job.

He wrote: “Application is in sir.”

The Scotsman is an avid fan of Scottish football and posts analytical content regularly on his YouTube channel.

He is a football consultant along with being a scout, and is now keen on getting an important position at the Ibrox outfit.

What is the current recruitment structure at Rangers?

Nathan Fisher is the Chief Scout at Rangers, and he will be playing a key role in helping select the ideal candidate.

Prior to his move to Ibrox, Fisher spent six years in different roles at Everton, including European Senior Scout and Head of Emerging Talent.

The Gers have stated that the selected candidate will be working closely with the Head of Scouting Operations.

That role is currently held by Fraser Murray, who has been in that position since April 2024.

Murray has been at Rangers for almost nine years, starting off as an Academy Performance Analyst and has since climbed the ranks.

Ross Ireland is the first-team Recruitment Analyst, while Ludovic Lemor is a first-team scout, holding the same role as the position that is being advertised.

Robbie Thelwell remains at the club and is the Head of Recruitment, after being appointed in October 2025.
