“It is a huge privilege to be taking on the role of head coach at such an incredible club, recognised around the world,” said Rohl.
“I know it has been a difficult start to the season, but there is still so much to play for in four competitions, and my staff and I will give it everything to reward the supporters and the club.”
Sporting director Kevin Thelwell described Rohl as an “exceptional coach”.
“He has worked in some of the most demanding football environments in the world, where winning is the only expectation, and we believe that background has prepared him for Rangers.”
