Rangers have announced the appointment of Frank McParland as the club's new head of recruitment.
The 56-year-old leaves his role as Burnley sporting director to link up with close friend Mark Warburton, the Rangers manager, in Glasgow.
"This has been a tough decision, because I completely respect all that Burnley Football Club has done for me in my short time here," McParland, who took up the Burnley job in May, told the Clarets' website.
"The management, staff, players and fans have been wonderful in welcoming me into such a tight-knit club.
"However, Mark and I go back a long way. We've had a close friendship for nine years or so and we've worked together professionally for four or five years now. The lure of joining up with him again was just too great."
Warburton said at his press conference today that he would still have the final say on transfers, despite McParland's arrival.
