Jimmy Nicholl and Jonatan Johansson to take charge at Rangers following Graeme Murty departure

JIMMY NICHOLL and Jonatan Johansson will take charge of Rangers until the end of the season.

A statement from the club has confirmed that Graeme Murty was relieved of his duties as manager this morning.

It read: “Rangers are grateful to Graeme, who did not hesitate when asked last October to become interim manager after the departure of Pedro Caixinha and then, at the turn of the year, when he was offered the role as manager until the end of the season.

“Graeme has had to contend with difficult and challenging circumstances but conducted himself in a thoroughly professional manner. He will take some time to consider his options, which include returning to his role at the Rangers Academy.”

Rangers play Kilmarnock on Saturday.
