Michael Beale has been sacked as Rangers manager after Saturday’s home defeat by Aberdeen.
The Ibrox side’s third Scottish Premiership loss of the season left them seven points behind defending champions Celtic.
Beale, 43, left Queens Park Rangers in November to replace Giovanni van Bronckhorst as Ibrox boss.
The Englishman started well with 13 wins out of 14 games but ultimately ended last season without a trophy.
A significant overhaul of the squad ensued but domestic defeats and a heavy Champions League play-off loss to PSV Eindhoven put Beale under pressure.
