Stuart McCall has arrived at Murray Park to begin work as the new Rangers manager.
McCall was photographed driving through the gates of the club's training ground ahead of the anticipated announcement of his appointment.
The 50-year-old is expected to deliver his first media conference as Rangers boss later on Thursday.
The former Ibrox midfielder will be tasked with rejuvenating Rangers' promotion bid with the team currently sitting third in the Scottish Championship.
The Scotland assistant coach resigned as Motherwell manager in November after collecting just seven points from the first 12 games of the Scottish Premiership season and suffering cup defeats to Hamilton and Icelandic side Stjarnan.
But McCall previously led the Lanarkshire club to their best run of post-war league results, finishing third and second, twice, in his three full seasons in charge, having earlier led them to the Scottish Cup final in 2011.
The former Scotland midfielder won six league titles in seven seasons with Rangers after joining the club in 1991 in the early stages of their nine-in-a-row run, making a total of 264 appearances.
An appointment would relieve Kenny McDowall of his caretaker-manager duties following a poor run of results under the reluctant leader.
McDowall, who has openly admitted he would rather not be in charge, has only secured three wins in 10 games since taking over when Ally McCoist was put on garden leave in December.
McCoist and McDowall have both handed in their resignations and have been serving their 12-month notice periods.
The positivity surrounding the Dave King-led revolution in the boardroom, which was extremely popular with fans, has not been transmitted to the pitch with the club drawing with both Cowdenbeath and Queen of the South since the shareholder vote.
Despite being seven points ahead of fifth-placed Falkirk with a game in hand, McDowall warned after Tuesday's 1-1 home draw with Queens that Rangers were in danger of falling out of the Scottish Championship top four and missing out on a play-off place.
