RANGERS have parted company with manager Pedro Caixinha after seven months in charge at Ibrox.
A board meeting was called earlier today to discuss Caixinha’s future, with chairman Dave King refusing to comment to press gathered outside.
Caixinha himself said he was still Rangers boss as he left the club’s training ground.

But the Portuguese has now been told his services are no longer required.
A statement on the club website said: “The decision to part company with Pedro was taken after careful consideration and the search for a new manager will begin immediately.
“Pedro was appointed in March this year but results have been disappointing and not commensurate with the level of investment that was made available.”
The list of managers tipped by bookies to replace him includes Billy Davies, Alex McLeish, Alan Pardew and Sam Allardyce.
Graeme Murty will take charge of the first team temporarily.
