David Weir drops big hint about Rangers job

David Weir has today dropped a
big hint that he is imminently to be appointed Rangers assistant with Mark
Warburton the manager.

A source bumped into the former
Ibrox defender in Cardiff at tonight’s Wales Belgium match, and asked if Weir
would indeed be taking up the Ibrox assistant position with Warburton his
superior, and Weir, unable to confirm this ‘on record’, instead gave “a nod and
a smile” in acknowledgement.

If this is to be fully
interpreted as what it appears to be mean rather than reading between the
lines, it could be the clearest indicator yet that Warburton and Weir will be
announced on Monday.

With Derek McInnes signing a new
two-year extension at Pittodrie (taking him up to 2019) and Vitor Pereira
signing on at Fenerbahce, Warburton’s odds have reduced again from 4/5 to 1/3 and it is starting to look, finally, like maybe, just maybe the saga is
coming to a close.
