No man is bigger than the club.
With the Steven Gerrard era now consigned to the past, there will be several subtle changes and updates required to be made to the branding and imagery around Ibrox.
Moves are underway as the Rangers family holds its breath for a new appointment, a new leader to rally behind – but for now there has been a bit of work carried out on the signage situated on Edmiston Drive, just next to the stadium.

The skipper sent a classy message to the outgoing manager and his staff tonight, having had a few hours to take stock of the situation and no doubt he will have been briefed by Ross Wilson, the club’s sporting director on the plan for change.
