Bristol Rovers manager Steve Evans has said he is fully committed to the League Two club, despite speculation linking him with the vacant role at Hibernian. Evans took over as manager of Bristol Rovers last December and, after ensuring the team's safety in the fourth division last season, signed a new contract in April which extends his deal at the Memorial Stadium until 2028.
Bristol Rovers currently sit sixth in the table, with four wins from their first seven games, although they suffered a second consecutive defeat with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Gillingham last Saturday. Regarding the rumors surrounding Hibernian, who recently sacked manager David Gray after six consecutive home defeats, Evans said there had been "no communication" from the Scottish club.
“I'm honored to be associated with a job like that, because if you're Scottish you know how big a football club like Hibernian is, but I'm not going anywhere,” Evans told BBC Radio Bristol. “I came here to carry out a project – it doesn't look like that driving home this evening – but my commitment is to this football club.”
At the age of 63, Evans has never managed in his homeland during his 32-year career, having spent his playing days with teams such as Clyde, Albion Rovers, Ayr United, Hamilton Academical and St Johnstone. The manager is a die-hard Celtic fan and has said there is "a certain team in Glasgow" who could bring him back to Scotland. “I have always maintained that there is only one club that would let me go to Scotland and, if they ever contacted me, I would be in the car,” he added. "A certain team in Glasgow, there's only one team I'd go over the border for, and of course, my own country, because everyone wants to coach their national team. I don't think I'll get any of those jobs now, but that's the only team I'd go over the border for."
Bristol Rovers' current situation and Evans' commitment represent a point of stability for the club at a time of uncertainty and change in the football landscape.
What happens now
With Evans reaffirming his commitment, Bristol Rovers will focus on their next match to recover from their recent defeat. Furthermore, the club could begin to evaluate potential signings in the transfer market, targeting a midfielder who can contribute to the development of Evans' long-term project.
