In a stunning announcement that has electrified supporters across the Scottish Premiership and the European Rangers Supporters Association (ERSA), Hateley will return to Ibrox _ not as a player this time _ but as the club’s new senior coaching advisor, working closely alongside Röhl and the first-team staff.

The announcement was reportedly met with emotional celebrations from Rangers supporters worldwide, many of whom still regard Hateley as one of the greatest forwards to ever wear the famous blue jersey. His return is being viewed as more than just a coaching appointment; fans are calling it a reunion with the spirit and identity of classic Rangers football.

Speaking during a press conference earlier today, Röhl expressed his excitement about bringing the legendary striker back into the fold.

“Mark understands what this club represents,” Röhl stated. “He knows the standards, the pressure, the winning mentality and the connection with the supporters. Having someone of his experience around the players will be massive for us moving forward.”

Hateley, who scored countless memorable goals during his iconic spell at Rangers in the 1990s, also shared his delight at returning home.

“Rangers has always been part of my life,” Hateley said emotionally. “Coming back to help the club in this new chapter is a huge honour. I’m ready to give everything I have to help bring success back to Ibrox.”

Supporters immediately flooded social media with reactions, describing the news as “the best possible boost” ahead of the new campaign. Many fans believe Hateley’s winning mentality and deep understanding of Rangers culture could play a major role in rebuilding the club into a dominant force both domestically and in Europe.

Club insiders suggest that Hateley’s role will involve mentoring attacking players, advising on player mentality, and helping strengthen the bond between the squad and the Rangers identity that supporters cherish deeply.

The move also signals Röhl’s ambition to blend modern tactical ideas with legendary figures who understand the club’s historic DNA. Analysts believe this combination could help Rangers challenge strongly for silverware next season.

Around Ibrox, excitement continues to grow as supporters eagerly await Hateley’s official unveiling in club colours once again — this time on the touchline instead of the pitch.

For many Rangers fans, one thing is already certain: Mark Hateley is home.
