Ulderink joins Rangers as assistant manager

Rangers have appointed former Ajax U21 boss and Reading coach Andries Ulderink as the club's new assistant manager.

The 54-year-old recently spent time in the same role as FC Twente in his homeland of the Netherlands, before moving to Royal Antwerp in Belgium.

Ulderink will work alongside manager Philippe Clement, as well as Stephan Van Der Hayden, Alex Rae, Brian Gilmour and goalkeeping coach Colin Stewart.

"I am really excited to join Rangers as assistant manager and it is a challenge I am looking forward to," he said.

“It is a great club, with a lot of history, and with a lot of Dutch connections so that was always there in my mind.

"In Scotland, the football intensity is very strong, especially at Rangers, so that was important for me too.

“I spoke with the manager about football, his vision, and his ambitions and he told me a little bit about the staff, about the club and it was exciting, I am really happy to be here.”
