Rangers have sacked their CEO, Patrick Stewart and sporting director Kevin Thelwell.
The double change comes just 12 weeks into the season after a string of disappointing results, leaving the Scottish giants in fourth place.
It also follows a change in manager, with Danny Rohl coming in to replace Russell Martin after just four months in charge.
Fan criticism has prompted the club to release a statement on the changes.
It read: "Rangers expresses its sincere gratitude to both Patrick and Kevin for their leadership and unwavering commitment to the club.
"Chairman Andrew Cavenagh and Vice Chairman Paraag Marathe have already begun the search process and, until permanent hires are made, Director Fraser Thornton will assume the role of acting CEO."
Rangers currently sit nine points behind leaders Hearts as Danny Rohl has guided the team to a four-game league winning streak.
Chairman Andrew Cavenagh is leading the search for replacements.

Cavenagh added: “Patrick Stewart and Kevin Thelwell are leaving Rangers Football Club.
"Responsible change is measured and steady. Our first priority has been to improve the sporting performance, and that led to our decision to part ways with Russell [Martin] and bring in Danny [Rohl].
"Danny has now started the process of improving the on-pitch performance, and that has given us the chance to focus on other parts of the club. Patrick and Kev are both skilled executives and have delivered a lot for the club in their time with it.
"We’ve now had six months since we became part of Rangers to assess the club’s needs as well as to get to know Patrick and Kev a bit more."

He continued: "Simply put, when we think about what we need in both CEO and sporting director today, it’s different than who we think Patrick and Kev are. We want people that align with the vision for the next chapter. I will not throw dirt on either of them.
"I think very highly of them both on personal and professional levels. It’s just the reality that the club needs different things today than it did six months ago.
"We’ve already started the hiring process and hope to have appointments soon, but we will prioritise quality and fit over speed. I want to reassure our supporters that Danny will continue to have all the support that he needs.
"In the interim, Fraser Thornton, our director, will be assuming the duties as acting CEO. Change like this is always painful, especially when it involves people we care about.
