Shortlists have been drawn up to fill both vacant roles of chairman and chief executive at Rangers.
Interim chairman John Gilligan has revealed the update in an open letter to supporters this afternoon.
The Scottish Premiership giants have been operating without permanent figures since the respective departures of John Bennett and James Bisgrove in recent months.
However, it seems the positions at Ibrox could be filled sooner rather than later, with 'strong and experienced candidates' now whittled down.
"Of course, we are determined to fill the Chairman and CEO roles as quickly as possible, and our recruitment consultants have already produced shortlists of very strong and experienced candidates for both roles," Gilligan wrote in the open letter.
"While that is ongoing, our absolute priority is to support Philippe in any way we can to ensure the men’s first-team can continue to build upon the progress we have seen from them in recent weeks.
"We must thank Philippe for standing tall during these difficult months and for dealing with non-football matters on the club's behalf."

With regards to other off-field matters relating to the clubs hierarchy, he added: "I can confirm Director of Football Operations Creag Robertson will leave in the coming weeks to pursue new opportunities.
"We must thank Creag for his contribution in several roles since he joined the club in 2016 and we wish him well in his future endeavours.
"With Creag moving on, I have seen some reports of the club being without leadership. I can assure you that is not the case with George Letham and myself, who have deep knowledge of business and our great club, working tirelessly alongside our executive management team to continue to drive the club forward.
"Nils Koppen, our Director of Football Recruitment, highlighted in an interview last week that planning for the January transfer window is well underway.
"On the commercial front, Karim Virani and his team have delivered an outstanding new front of shirt sponsorship deal with the Kindred group, while we have been really pleased with the work done in such a short space of time, by Elior on the catering front.
"The financial uplift in both deals, together with the strong financial oversight and controls actioned by CFO, James Taylor will positively benefit the club going forward."
