Graeme Murty suffered a heavy defeat to Celtic in what proved to be his final game in charge of Rangers.
Graeme Murty suffered a heavy defeat to Celtic in what proved to be his final game in charge of Rangers.

Rangers have issued a statement after boss Graeme Murty was “relieved of his duties” at the club.

Jimmy Nicholl and Jonatan Johansson will take charges at Ibrox following the side’s 5-0 defeat to rivals Celtic on Sunday.

Murty took charge of Rangers after former manager Pedro Caixinha was sacked in October 2017.

The Glasgow club said it is “grateful to Graeme” for his professionalism throughout “difficult and challenging circumstances”.

Murty is said to be considering his options, which includes the possibility of returning to his old role at the Rangers Academy.

A Rangers FC statement said: “Graeme Murty has this morning been relieved of his duties as manager of Rangers.

“Jimmy Nicholl and Jonatan Johansson will take charge of the team for the three remaining matches of the season.

“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.

“Graeme has had to contend with difficult and challenging circumstances but conducted himself in a thoroughly professional manner. He will take some time to consider his options, which include returning to his role at the Rangers Academy.

“Jimmy Nicholl and Jonatan Johansson have already started preparing the team for the match against Kilmarnock on Saturday and they will be in place for the two remaining fixtures, against Aberdeen and Hibernian.

“The club hopes to be in a position to comment further on the managerial situation in the near future.”
