Scottish giants Rangers have sacked their manager Pedro Caixinha after a poor start to the season.

The Portuguese manager has won just 14 of his 26 games in charge. Rangers spent a considerable amount of money in the summer in order to close the gap with bitter rivals Celtic but they are currently eight points adrift of the Champions after just 10 games.

Caixinha’s coaches Hélder Baptista, Pedro Malta and José Belman have also left the club.

Rangers’ statement read: “The decision to part company with Pedro was taken after careful consideration and the search for a new manager will begin immediately.
