Rangers legend David Weir departs Brighton as Tony Bloom speaks

Rangers legend David Weir has departed his role as Brighton and Hove Albion's technical director. 

Weir joined the English Premier League club in 2018, initially as pathway development manager.

He then enjoyed a brief stint as assistant technical director before succeeding Dan Ashworth in the leading role in May 2022.

Addressing Weir's exit, Brighton chairman Tony Bloom told the club's official website: "David has served our club very well but we now wish to refresh our technical area with new leadership and direction. 

"I’d like to thank David for everything he has done for us, and to wish him well for the future."

Chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber added: "I have greatly enjoyed working with David over the past eight years and have appreciated his support and hard work throughout this period. 

"I wish David all the best going forward."

It remains to be seen who will succeed Weir at Brighton. 

The 55-year-old made 226 Rangers appearances across a five-year stint at the club. He won three Scottish Premiership titles with the Ibrox side, as well as two Scottish Cups and two League Cups. 

Weir also registered 69 caps for Scotland.
