Rangers have today confirmed that former players Andy Little and Peter Lovenkrands are both returning to the club as coaches, alongside Brian Gilmour and Stephen Wright.

The Gers have been going through major changes in 2017, with Pedro Caixinha coming in to replace Mark Warburton as manager in March, with David Weir and Frank McParland also leaving the club.

A Director of Football is still expected to arrive this summer, whilst Jonatan Johansson returned to Ibrox to join Caixinha’s coaching staff alongside Helder Baptista, Pedro Malta and Jose Belman.

More changes have arrived today though, as Rangers have confirmed on their official website that four ex-Gers players are coming back to Ibrox in coaching roles.
