Former Rangers defender David Weir has landed a new job.

The 55-year-old has been appointed as the sporting director of French club Strasbourg.

He left his previous position as technical director at Brighton in September, having also worked as the pathway development manager for the Premier League side.

Mr Weir said: "It is a great honour to join Racing, a historic club with a strong identity and growing ambition.
