List of Rangers F.C. managers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of Rangers Football Club's managers and all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Rangers, since its formation in 1872.
Each manager's entry includes his dates of tenure and the club's overall competitive record (in terms of first team matches won, drawn and lost), honours won and significant achievements while under his care. Caretaker or interim managers are included as well as those who have been in permanent charge. Rangers have had twenty-one permanent and twelve interim managers.
Match secretaries
Prior to the club forming a corporate entity in June 1899, Rangers had a series of match secretaries who filled the role of what would have been the manager.
Managers
The most successful and longest-serving Rangers manager is Bill Struth, who won nineteen Scottish league championships, ten Scottish Cups, two League Cups, seven war-time league championships, nineteen Glasgow Cups and seventeen Glasgow Merchant Charity Cups from 1920 to 1954.
The club has, on average, appointed a new manager every seven and a half years. The club's directors have dismissed seven of their managers, namely David White (1967-1969), Jock Wallace (during his second spell; 1983-1986), Pedro Caixinha (2017), Giovanni Van Bronckhorst (2021-2022), Michael Beale (2022-2023), Philippe Clement (2023–2025) and Russell Martin (2025). The others have left of their own accord or by mutual agreement, except for William Wilton, who died whilst still manager of the club.
