Ross Wilson has wished Rangers "nothing but the best" following his exit to join Nottingham Forest as their new chief football officer.
Wilson has succeeded former sporting director Filippo Giraldi, who was relieved of his duties on Tuesday. Wilson spent successful years in Scottish football, and held football leadership positions in English football, at Southampton, Huddersfield and Watford.
In a parting statement on the Rangers website, Wilson said: "I would like to thank the players, led superbly by captain James Tavernier, and the manager Michael Beale, as well as all those who have come before them in the three-and-a-half years I have spent at Rangers.

"I would like to thank Douglas Park, Stewart Robertson and the board for their support. I wish John Bennett – a true Rangers man – a successful chairmanship. This is a great club, and there are so many reasons for Rangers to face the decades ahead with optimism and pride.
"Thank you for your support. I wish everyone associated with Rangers nothing but the best for the future."
