Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Pedro Caixinha as manager on a three-year contract.
The 46-year-old was previously boss of Al-Gharafa in Qatar, Uniao Leiria and Nacional in Portugal, and Santos Laguna in Mexico, as well as stints as No 2 at Sporting Lisbon, Panathinaikos and Rapid Bucharest.
Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson told the club website: “We are delighted to welcome Pedro to Rangers. We compiled a shortlist of high-quality candidates but we knew after our initial meeting with Pedro that he was the right man to take this club forward.
“He is a man of great experience and authority and the board has no doubt he will help us achieve our long-term goals. I would like to thank the Rangers supporters for their patience throughout the process but we were determined to appoint the best candidate possible.
“I would also like to thank Graeme Murty for taking control of the first team. He will complete his duties at Celtic Park on Sunday before returning to his role with the under-20s and Pedro will begin his work on Monday morning.”
