Leanne Cricthon: Rangers in talks with Glasgow City assistant over head coach job

Glasgow city assistant manager Leanne Crichton is the front runner to become the new Rangers women’s head coach, BBC Scotland has learned.

The Ibrox club have held positive talks with the former Scotland player and she is expected to replace Jo Potter, who left to manage Crystal Palace last month.

The Ibrox side won the domestic cup double in both of Potter’s seasons in charge and were third in the SWPL last term.

Crichton, 37, had three playing spells with City and also turned out for Celtic, Hibernian, Notts County and Motherwell, the latter where she also moved into coaching. She returned to Glasgow City to assist Leanne Ross in November.
