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 or interim managers are included, where known, as well as those who have been in permanent charge.
Prior to the club forming a corporate entity in June 1899, Rangers had a series of match secretaries who filled the role of what would have been the manager.
The club's directors have only dismissed six of their managers, namely David White (1967-1969), Jock Wallace (during his second spell; 1983-1986), Pedro Caixinha (2017), Giovanni Van Bronckhorst (2021-2022), Michael Beale (2022-2023) and Philippe Clement (2023–2025).
The others have left of their own accord or by mutual agreement, except for William Wilton, who died whilst still manager of the club.
