Rangers have named Philippe Clement as their new manager on a deal until 2027.
The 49-year-old will meet the squad on Monday and begin preparations for his first match as Gers boss when they face Hibernian at Ibrox on Saturday.
He replaces Michael Beale, who was sacked two weeks ago after just 10 months in charge, following a third league defeat in seven games.
