Rangers have appointed Michael Beale as their new manager in a deal lasting till 2026.
Beale, 42, leaves his role at QPR to return to the Ibrox Stadium, where he was assistant to Steven Gerrard, replacing the sacked Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
Together the pair won the Scottish Premiership in 2020-21 before making the journey to Premier League side Aston Villa.
Beale then left Villa Park to take charge of QPR at the start of the season — where he managed a record of nine wins, four draws and eight losses in 21 matches, leading them to seventh place in the Championship.
Speaking to the official Rangers website, he said: "It is fantastic to be back and to see everybody this morning, there are some new faces but some people that I know really well so it is great to see everyone.
"I am hugely proud, it is a wonderful, wonderful football club, it is an institution. For everyone that works here it is a huge privilege, but to be the manager of this football club, that is extremely special. Some wonderful people have sat in this chair prior to me, and I am hugely proud to be the person sat here now."
