Rangers have secured the appointment of a former Queen’s Park employee who spent over a year at the Glasgow outfit.

Daniel Teenan, who served as Queen’s Park’s Lead Sports Scientist for the women’s team, has moved to Ibrox, Rangers News has learned.

He has joined the Light Blues to be a Performance Analyst for the academy, and it is understood to be on an internship basis.

Teenan will be working at the club’s academy structure that operates out of the Rangers Training Centre at Auchenhowie. His role will include live-coding or post-match coding games and training sessions. This will benefit the club in numerous ways as it will help break down metrics like pass accuracy, pressing intensity, duels won, etc., that can then be relayed back to the coaches at different levels.

It’s understood that he will work under the structure that has been set up by the likes of Stig Inge Bjornebye, the Performance Director, and Brian Gilmour, the Interim Academy Director. David Hopkin, the Head of Academy Scouting, is also expected to oversee some of Teenan’s reports.

As things stand, it is unclear whether or not there will be a permanent role up for grabs in the future.
