Rangers appointed Philippe Clement as their new manager on Sunday some two weeks after parting ways with Michael Beale.
The Belgian will look to hit the ground running at Ibrox and has been spotted arriving at their training centre on Monday morning for his first day at work.
Football Scotland posted a picture of Clement in his car driving into the Rangers training ground to begin work after pipping several candidates to the gig.

The 49-year-old is the 19th permanent Rangers manager and the fourth manager to take charge of the Ibrox outfit in the last two years after Steven Gerrard, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Beale.
Clement was sacked as the manager of AS Monaco in June after 18 months in charge and will hope to stay longer with the Light Blues and help them win major silverware this term and going forward.
Rangers ended last term on a disappointing note, finishing without a trophy and will look to win the Scottish Premiership title this term having last won it in 2020-21.
They have already found themselves seven points behind Celtic in the league table after eight games following three defeats, and Clement has to start his tenure with a run of victories to win over the fans and board immediately.
Rangers resume league action on Saturday at Ibrox against Hibernian before travelling to face Sparta Prague next Thursday in their third Europa League group game.
Clement won the Belgian Pro League with Genk in 2018-19 before winning the 2021 Belgian Super Cup and the league title with Club Brugge in 2019-20 and 2020-21.
He will fancy his chances of impressing at Rangers, and the board will hope they have made the right decision after the disappointments from their last two appointments.
