NETHERLANDS hero Roy Makaay will join the Rangers revolution under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Rangers confirmed the appointment of the former Ibrox star on Thursday evening as he put pen-to-paper on a deal at Ibrox.
And Herald and Times Sport can now reveal that Mackaay will take on the role of assistant manager to the 46-year-old this season.
Makaay enjoyed a glittering career at the top of the European game with the likes of Deportivo La Coruna, Bayern Munich and Feyenoord.
Now he is poised to head to Glasgow as van Bronckhorst succeeds Steven Gerrard as boss and aims to retain the Premiership title this term.
It is understood that performance analyst Yori Bosschaart and Arno Philips - a physiotherapist for the Netherlands national team - will also form part of van Bronckhorst's backroom staff.
The appointment of the former Light Blues midfielder has been greeted with huge excitement by supporters on the eve of Sunday's Premier Sports Cup semi-final on Sunday.
And the imminent arrival of Makaay will now come as another significant boost as van Bronckhorst begins a new era at the club where he won five major honours at the start of his career.
