Issame Charai sends message to Rangers supporters after Ibrox exit

Issame Charai has sent a message to Rangers supporters after departing the club via mutual consent. 

His Ibrox exit was announced on Friday evening, with Charai not set to be part of new head coach Russell Martin's backroom team. 

"As I leave Rangers, I want to thank everyone at the club for their support during my time here," Charai told rangers.co.uk.

"This is a really special club, and as it enters a new era, I want to wish everyone associated with the club the very best for what comes next.

"Above all, I want to thank the Rangers supporters for their amazing backing across the period. We had some high moments and some low moments, but their support was the constant. It is something I will always remember and be forever grateful for."

Charai joined Rangers at the beginning of the calendar year. His fellow countryman, Philippe Clement, was sacked shortly after. 

Speaking on the 43-year-old's exit, CEO Patrick Stewart said: "I want to place on record the sincere thanks of both the club and I to Issame for his work over the past six months. 

"Through the managerial transition in February and beyond, he handled himself superbly and was a real asset to Barry and his staff during their period in charge of the team.

"As the men’s first-team moves forth into this new era under Russell, it has been agreed between the club and Issame for him to move on.

"For whatever comes next for him, I want to wish him the very best of luck. He will always be welcome back at Ibrox."
