Graeme Murty will remain as interim manager of Rangers until the end of the season.

Rangers have announced that Graeme Murty will remain in interim charge of the club until the end of the season.

After Pedro Caixinha was removed from his position as head coach in October, Murty has gone on to win six of his nine matches in charge of the Scottish Premiership side.

The Glasgow giants had been expected to make a permanent appointment, but it has now been revealed that Murty will stay in the dugout until the end of the current campaign.

A statement read: "The club's directors believe Graeme has demonstrated he is capable of handling this task successfully and are confident the players will continue to respond to his leadership in a positive manner. With so much still at stake in the current season this decision was not taken lightly but now that Graeme has been given full control he can work towards the obvious targets with greater focus.

"It is important to concentrate on the remainder of this campaign – the Scottish Cup and maintaining a challenge at the top of the Scottish Premiership – and with Graeme now in charge until at least the end of the season, he and the players can tackle the challenges ahead with renewed confidence and belief.

"Graeme has already secured a number of positive results – notably against Aberdeen home and away and Hibernian, also away – in recent weeks and more results like those are required.

"It should be noted that Graeme will have the final say on which additions will be made during the January transfer window, which should be perfectly understandable given that he'll be working longer term with the first-team squad. This will allow him to make important judgement calls."

Rangers currently sit in third position in the league standings, eight points adrift of leaders Celtic.
