Rangers have made a significant addition to their coaching staff, appointing Scott Fry from Lincoln City as the club’s new set-piece trainer. The move aims to strengthen the platoon’s attacking options and add a fresh edge to their dead-ball situations.
Fans have also been excited by the club’s orange fourth kit, designed in collaboration with Scottish artists, which adds to the buzz at Ibrox.
Fry, who helped Lincoln score a remarkable 30 goals from set-pieces last season, the most in English League One, joins a Rangers coaching staff already focused on innovation and tactical improvement.
Head coach Danny Rohl played a key role in Fry’s recruitment, leading a “detailed process that analysed teams across the UK and Europe who consistently outperformed in their set-plays.”
Fry’s Lincoln Success to Boost Rangers’ Set-Pieces
Joining Lincoln in the summer of 2022, Fry originally worked as the club’s goalkeeping trainer before taking responsibility for set-piece tactics at the launch of last season.
His approach, which included creative training methods and innovative planning, easily caught the attention of Rangers, who were looking to upgrade their own set-piece strategies at Ibrox. Lincoln City will receive compensation for releasing Fry from his contract.
Fry’s move comes shortly after news that Philippe Clement is set to manage Norwich City, showing how coaching changes continue to reshape football teams across the UK.

Director of football Jez George praised Fry’s contribution and wished him well, stating: “Scott leaves with our absolute best wishes.
We went on a journey together in terms of our use of AI to improve our processes and design of set-plays, which resulted in outstanding outcomes and inevitably attracted the attention of other clubs.
Scott made it clear that it would take a life-changing offer for him to leave, and while we have managed to rebuff several approaches, we respect that Rangers have provided him with an opportunity that he can’t turn down.”
Rangers Aim to Strengthen Set-Piece Tactics
Fry’s appointment is anticipated to bring fresh ideas to Rangers’ set-piece play, both in domestic competitions and in Europe.
suckers can look forward to further inventive attacking routines, sharper delivery from corners and free-kicks, and a conspicuous enhancement in dead-ball effectiveness.
With the Ibrox side keen to optimise every aspect of their game, the addition of a specialist like Scott Fry signals their intent to contend at the loftiest position and make set-pieces a potent armament in their crusade.
Ibrox Fans Can Expect Creative Dead-Ball Strategies
Rangers are clearly aiming to convert their set-piece opportunities into a real attacking advantage. Fry’s proven track record at Lincoln City, combined with Rohl’s focus on tactical detail, could make Ibrox one of the most dangerous teams from corners and free-kicks this season.
