The club legend is set to take charge of the first-team until the end of the season while the club looks for a permanent successor to Philippe Clement, who was sacked on Sunday.

Ferguson won five league titles, five Scottish Cups and five League Cups across his hugely successful time as a player at Ibrox.

His first game in the dugout will be in the Scottish Premiership match against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Wednesday night.

Ferguson's appointment was confirmed in a club statement on Monday afternoon.

The statement reads: "As confirmed yesterday, Philippe Clement is leaving the club. In addition, Alex Rae, Colin Stewart and Stephan van der Heyden are also departing.

"Rangers FC would like to thank Philippe, Alex, Colin and Stephan for their contribution and commitment. They will always be welcome at the club.

"Brian Gilmour will remain with Rangers to continue to bridge the gap between the academy and the first-team.

"The ongoing football review will continue, and a new, permanent manager will be appointed in the coming months."
