This is a list of Rangers Football Club's managers and all those who have held the position of manager of the first team of Rangers, since their formation in 1872.

Each manager's entry includes his dates of tenure and the club's overall competitive record (in terms of first team matches won, drawn and lost), honours won and significant achievements while under his care. Caretaker managers are included, where known, as well as those who have been in permanent charge. As of the start of the 2015–16 season, Rangers have had fourteen different permanent managers and six interim managers.

Managerial history

The most successful person to manage Rangers and longest-serving manager is Bill Struth, who won eighteen First tier league championships, ten Scottish Cups, two League Cups, seven war-time league championships, nineteen Glasgow Cups, seventeen Glasgow Merchant Charity Cups, as well as a host of other honours.

The club has, on average, appointed a new manager every seven and a half years. The club's directors have only ever dismissed two of their managers, namely David White and Jock Wallace (during his second spell). The others have left of their own accord or by mutual agreement, except for William Wilton, who died whilst still manager of the side.
