Barry Ferguson has been appointed interim Rangers manager following Philippe Clement's departure, with Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor assisting the former club captain.

The ex-Rangers and Scotland team-mates' first game in the dugout will be Wednesday's Scottish Premiership trip to Kilmarnock (20:00 GMT).

Assistant manager Issame Charai led training on Monday.

Clement left Ibrox on Sunday, a day after a 2-0 home defeat by St Mirren left Rangers 13 points behind league leaders Celtic.

Ferguson, 47, previously managed Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa Athletic, while McCann, 50, has had spells in charge of Dundee and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Dodds, 56, was Ross County assistant and later managed Inverness, while goalkeeper McGregor, 43, had two spells with Rangers.

Midfielder Ferguson and winger McCann helped Rangers win two domestic trebles, with the former winning five league titles and 15 trophies over two spells.

McCann has nine winners' medals from his playing days at Ibrox, including three in the top flight.

Forward Dodds won all three major domestic honours once with Rangers.

The trio, who won a combined 97 international caps, have worked as media pundits of late.

Rangers are next at home to Motherwell on Saturday (15:00) and will play both legs of their Europa League last-16 tie with Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce as well as an away league game against Celtic before the March international break.

Fenerbahce host Rangers on 6 March, with the return at Ibrox seven days later.

The next Old Firm fixture is at Celtic Park on 16 March.
