James Bisgrove has outlined his "immediate priority" as Rangers' new CEO.
The 38-year-old was this evening confirmed as the Ibrox club's chief executive following the announcement that Stewart Robertson will leave in the summer.
Robertson will exit Ibrox at the end of July after nearly eight years at the helm.
He has overseen the club's rise from the Championship to reclaiming the title, winning the Scottish Cup, and reaching the final of the Europa League.
Bisgrove steps up from commercial and marketing director, a role he has performed since June 2019.
In a club statement, Bisgrove said: “I would like to thank and congratulate Stewart for all he has achieved at Rangers. His daily support and wisdom have been invaluable.
“Rangers Football Club is a globally renowned institution steeped in success and the scale of privilege and responsibility I feel to serve its supporters as CEO is immense.

“In the past four years, I've witnessed first-hand what this great club means to our supporters worldwide and, together with our Chairman, John Bennett, and the Board, we will work tirelessly to achieve the success Rangers supporters deserve.
“My immediate priority is to ensure Michael Beale and his staff continue to have the resources and environment they require to put a winning team on the pitch and to deliver regular trophies for our supporters.
“This will be underpinned by overseeing the continuation of our positive financial performance and sustained profitability off the pitch.
“I'm personally looking forward to energising our engagement with all Rangers supporters and overseeing a strengthened and aligned culture.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
