Managerial History

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 eighteen 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 only dismissed four of their managers, namely David White, Jock Wallace (during his second spell), Pedro Caixinha and Giovanni Van Bronckhorst. The others have left of their own accord or by mutual agreement, except for William Wilton, who died whilst still manager of the club.
