Rangers have confirmed that directors Paul Murray and Barry Scott have stepped down from the board at Ibrox.

The news follows the departure of manager Graeme Murty, who was sacked by the club in the wake of their 5-0 defeat to Old Firm rivals Celtic on Sunday.

Murray was in his second spell as a director, while Hong Kong-based Scott joined the board in December.

"Paul has been a director since March 2015 and played an important role at that time in helping oust the previous board and restore the club to the hands of those who have its best interests at heart," Gers wrote on their website.

"Paul has served with distinction as a director since that time and all at Rangers are very grateful for his efforts. We look forward to welcoming him again as a supporter.

"Barry joined the board more recently and his enthusiasm and drive were welcome. The board knows it will continue to enjoy his support and appreciates the commitment he has shown to the club."

Rangers remain in talks with Liverpool legend and youth coach Steven Gerrard over the vacant manager's job.
