Graeme Murty
Graeme Murty has been sacked as Rangers manager following Sunday’s 5-0 hammering by Scottish champions, Celtic.
“He will take some time to consider his options, which include returning to his role at the Rangers academy,” said the Glasgow club.
In December, the 43-year-old had been given the job until the end of the season after a spell in interim charge following Pedro Caixinha’s sacking.
But he has now been “relieved of his duties”.
Rangers’ next game is at home to Kilmarnock and the club said assistants Jimmy Nicholl and Jonatan Johansson will “take charge of the team for the three remaining matches of the season”.
Former Reading and Scotland full-back Murty had expressed his desire to continue in the job, but Rangers have been in talks about appointing Liverpool youth coach Steven Gerrard for next season.
“The club hopes to be in a position to comment further on the managerial situation in the near future,” Rangers said.
“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.
