Rangers favourite Shota Arveladze sacked by Hull City as he's brutally dismissed hours before game

Shota Arveladze has been sacked by Hull City after the Rangers favourite failed to fall into the line with their chairman's vision.

The former striker formed part of the Light Blues' treble-winning 2002/03 squad and double-winning team the following season over a four-year stint at Ibrox. He's since been forging a career in management and was appointed Tigers head coach in January following stints in Turkey and Israel, but it hasn't worked out this season.

After guiding them to safety and 19th in the English Championship last season, he's lost four on the bounce and is relieved of his duties just hours out from his side taking on Luton Town now domestic football is back from the international break. Part of the reason for his exit is that his views on the direction of the team and the club's hierarchy weren't in alignment, so the Rangers hero and assistant Peter van der Veen are gone.
