FORMER Rangers striker Jonatan Johansson has returned to Auchenhowie in a coaching role.
The 47-year-old spent time on the first team staff during Pedro Caixinha’s short reign as manager in season 2017/18.
And we can reveal that Johansson - who took a session with the Under-16s on Saturday - has now taken up an academy position after joining the staff that is overseen by Craig Mulholland.
The former Finland international started his coaching career at Morton and spent three seasons as Under-20s boss at Motherwell before becoming assistant manager to national Markku Kanerva in his homeland.
His time at Ibrox was followed by a season as Morton boss and a stint at TPS Turku and he has now returned to the Light Blues once again to help the next generation of kids progress towards Michael Beale’s first team.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
