Our mission

At Rangers we’re passionate about football, but we’re also passionate about what the Club stands for off the pitch. The Rangers Charity Foundation embodies the strong charitable values of the Rangers Family and a spirit that everyone connected with the Club can feel proud of.

Connal Cochrane, Rangers Charity Foundation Chief Executive

“I feel more at peace within myself. I’ve got more self-esteem and self-worth and I am proud to say that as of a couple of weeks ago, I’m three years clean.”

“I’m really grateful for the time I’ve spent here which has given me the chance to get qualifications, go to college and stay involved with my passions.”

After 22 years of service, Connal Cochrane has decided to step down as Chief Executive of the Rangers Charity Foundation at the end of the 2026/27 football season. He plans to take some time before deciding what he would like to do next, rather than move directly into another role.

Connal Read morejoined the Foundation as a team of one and has played a central role in its growth from a fundraising and grant-giving charity into an organisation delivering life-changing programmes alongside its support for charitable causes, which now employs 29 colleagues.

Jacqueline Gourlay, Chair of Rangers Charity Foundation, said:

“Connal has given an extraordinary amount to the Foundation over the past 22 years, and we owe him a heartfelt thank you." 💙

Foundation staff received some interesting and enjoyable training in #Makaton this week from the wonderful Katie at @dsscotland as part of our partnership this season.🙂👍

This will really help delivery staff working on programmes such as Count Me In and Autism Friendly Football, who Read moreoften work with young people with communication difficulties.

It also means we will be able to communicate better with Down's Syndrome Scotland members throughout the season at some of the events we have planned! 💙

A huge thank you to Katie from all of us for taking the time to deliver our session!👏👏
