The new Glasgow Rangers manager, as expected, will be Ally McCoist, replacing Walter Smith who will step down after the season.

The 48-year-old specialist has been working as Smith's assistant since the beginning of 2007.

"Working with Walter was an incredible experience. I feel like I'm taking over the microphone from Frank Sinatra - it will be hard to match him," said McCoist. "I am very excited. After all, I played in this club for 15 years, and now I will be coaching it."

Smith, 62, announced at the beginning of the season that he will be stepping down from his duties.
