Last updated 23rd May 2023
Rangers women's manager Malky Thomson will leave his role at the end of the season.
His side missed out on the SWPL 1 title on the final day of the season after a 1-0 defeat to Glasgow City at Ibrox.
Thomson's final game in charge will be Sunday's Women's Scottish Cup final against Celtic at Hampden.
The club also won the Sky Sports Cup earlier in the campaign with a 2-0 win over Hibernian in the final.
The 54-year old will return to his role in the club's academy.
Incoming CEO James Bisgrove told the club's official website: "Malky has achieved historic successes and will be remembered as the coach who led us to our first-ever league title and first journey in the Champions League.
"When Malky was asked to leave his Academy role and become women's head coach, he did so with great energy and enthusiasm. Phase one of our women's football strategy was to create Scotland's first full-time professional, fully-integrated team.
"Malky then led us through phase two, as we won our first-ever trophies, and the club had always agreed with him that, as we entered phase three of the strategy, he would return to his Academy position, where his experience will be invaluable.
“On behalf of the Board, I congratulate Malky for his fantastic contribution to the Women's football programme. We will now commence the search for a new women's head coach who will join Rangers in the summer.’’
"For now, the focus remains on finishing this season on a high, with the team aiming to win the Scottish Cup for the first time in our history."
