Rangers sack Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell | OneFootball

Rangers have announced the dismissal of Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell from senior management positions.

Both have been under fire for the club's recent underperformances, notably the appointment of head coach Russell Martin, who was sacked mere months into his tenure after a torrid start.

The club have now announced that he has been followed out of the Ibrox exit door by chief executive Stewart and sporting director Thelwell.

Both were also in the spotlight for a big spending summer transfer market that has yet to yield any notable on-field results.

Ex-Everton chief Thelwell only arrived in Glasgow in June, while Stewart had been in position since last December following a spell at Manchester United.

It is not anticipated that technical director Dan Purdy, academy director Jonathan Hunter-Barnett or recruitment chief Robbie Thelwell, son of Kevin, will follow the duo in departing.

Fraser Thornton has been installed as acting CEO.
