Speculation continues to build around Davide Ancelotti as the leading candidate to become the next Rangers manager. While he has yet to take the reins of a club on his own, his coaching pedigree and tactical acumen—sharpened alongside his father at some of Europe’s top clubs—make him a compelling option. Ancelotti’s emphasis on adaptability and situational awareness, both in and out of possession, could bring a much-needed shift in mindset at Ibrox. His ability to prepare teams to press high, manage transitions, and adjust systems based on opposition or available personnel suggests he might offer the kind of tactical flexibility Rangers have sorely lacked in recent years.

May 10, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Rangers have struggled with a six-game winless streak as they search for a new manager, with interim boss Barry Ferguson unable to secure a victory in their recent 1-1 draw against Celtic. With the team desperate for their first home win since February, the pressure is mounting ahead of their upcoming match against Aberdeen.

In a surprising turn, former England manager Gareth Southgate has been linked to the Rangers job. Scott Burns, writing for the *Daily Record*, suggested that Southgate could be an excellent fit, citing his success with England, including guiding them to the Euro 2021 final. Despite not winning a major trophy, Southgate’s ability to lead under pressure, including reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, makes him a compelling option for Rangers, who are eager to regain their glory after a disappointing season.

Cyriel Dessers Drops Bombshell Claim About Rangers’ DNA, Sparking Speculation on Two Key Manager Replacements for Barry Ferguson

May 6, 2025 RAYMOND 0

There is no clear frontrunner to replace Philippe Clement as manager of Rangers, with Barry Ferguson currently holding the position on an interim basis. The decision on who will take over is expected to be influenced by the upcoming San Francisco 49ers takeover, which could play a key role in the club’s future direction. Additionally, Kevin Thelwell’s appointment as sporting director adds another layer of importance to the managerial decision, given his experience in hiring and firing.

Despite recent struggles, Cyriel Dessers has voiced his support for Ferguson, pointing to his ability to unite the team during a challenging period. Dessers emphasized that Ferguson’s deep understanding of the club’s DNA and his connection with the fans are significant advantages. Ferguson’s experience and leadership have been crucial in stabilizing the team, even though consistency has remained an ongoing issue. However, Dessers also acknowledged that while Ferguson’s knowledge of Rangers is a big positive, other potential candidates like Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat—both with strong ties to the club—could also be considered for the role.

Rangers Set Their Sights on ‘One of the Best Young English Managers’—Is This the Game-Changer They’ve Been Waiting For?

May 5, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Steven Gerrard is reportedly the top candidate to become the next permanent manager of Rangers, following a turbulent season for the club. Despite a strong run in the Europa League, Rangers’ domestic campaign has been disappointing, with their arch-rivals Celtic clinching both the Premiership title and the League Cup. A shocking exit in the Scottish Cup, following a defeat to Queen’s Park, further soured the season.

With Philippe Clement sacked in February due to inconsistency, former midfielder Barry Ferguson has taken over on an interim basis. Rangers are now looking to appoint a permanent manager, and it seems they are eyeing a reunion with Gerrard, who previously led the club to its first Scottish Premiership title in a decade, remaining unbeaten throughout the season.

Since leaving Rangers in 2021 for Aston Villa, Gerrard’s managerial career has seen mixed results, including a brief and unsuccessful stint in Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, his knowledge of the club and past success make him a strong contender for the role. Rangers fans still hold Gerrard in high regard, and with him currently out of work, his return to Ibrox could be a natural fit.

Rangers Eye Electrifying Talent with a ‘Touch of Gazza’ – The Next Ryan Kent in the Making?

May 3, 2025 RAYMOND 0

As Rangers face one of their most crucial summer transfer windows, the club is looking to make strategic moves following another trophyless season and Celtic’s continued dominance. With 49ers Enterprises closing in on a takeover, there is hope for a fresh start at Ibrox. A major squad overhaul is necessary, and the club is increasingly focused on signing young, talented players with high potential—similar to their previous acquisition of Ryan Kent.

One player who could follow in Kent’s footsteps is Bobby Clark. After a difficult stint at RB Salzburg, where he struggled to settle, Clark may be available for a loan move this summer. A former Liverpool academy graduate, Clark has shown flashes of brilliance in both domestic and European competitions, and Rangers could provide him with the perfect opportunity to reignite his career. With the potential for a fresh start at Ibrox, could Clark become the next standout star for Rangers, just as Kent did in years past?

Rangers Takeover Drama: US Investor Set to Attend Old Firm as Paraag Marathe’s Future Hangs in the Balance!

May 2, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Rangers’ takeover by the 49ers Enterprises group is approaching its final stages, with a deal to purchase a controlling stake in the club expected to be completed by the summer. Recent “productive talks” and a tour of Ibrox by Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe indicate that the transition is well underway. However, doubts have emerged regarding Marathe’s role as the Old Firm clash against Celtic approaches. Reports suggest that while Cavenagh will be a regular presence at Ibrox next season, Marathe’s involvement may be less frequent due to his prominent role at Leeds United, who have just secured Premier League promotion.

Despite these potential changes, Rangers supporters need not worry. With trusted figures like Cavenagh and Gretar Steinsson, who has shown solid management experience at clubs like Tottenham and Everton, overseeing the club’s operations, Marathe’s reduced presence is unlikely to disrupt the team’s future. While there are pressing concerns, such as the future of interim manager Ferguson and potential player departures in the summer transfer window, the 49ers are set to tackle these challenges head-on, ensuring that the club remains on course for success.

Tam McManus Unleashes Brutal Attack on Rangers Ace Clinton Nsiala – ‘Absolutely Terrible!’

April 29, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Tam McManus was highly critical of Clinton Nsiala’s performance in Rangers’ 2-2 draw with St Mirren on Saturday. Despite Rangers taking the lead twice, St Mirren equalized both times, and McManus pointed to Nsiala’s defensive lapses as the main cause for the dropped points. He singled out the 21-year-old French defender for failing to win the first header from a long throw-in, which led to St Mirren’s opening goal, and for his poorly timed attempt at playing the offside trap for the second goal. McManus described the defending as “terrible,” and emphasized that these mistakes cost Rangers the win.

While McManus’ criticism is harsh, it’s important to consider the challenging season Rangers have had, with managerial instability and a lack of cohesion impacting players like Nsiala. The young center-back, in his debut season with Rangers, has been thrust into high-pressure situations without the benefit of consistent guidance. Despite these struggles, McManus believes that with proper coaching under a stable manager, Nsiala has the potential to develop into a reliable defender for Rangers. However, he must address his defensive awareness and aerial duels to succeed at Ibrox.

Guardiola’s Favorite, 39-Year-Old Manager, Shockingly Sets Sights on Rangers – Is a Move to Ibrox Imminent?

April 28, 2025 RAYMOND 0

A former Premier League manager is reportedly eager to take over at Rangers and is awaiting a call from the club’s hierarchy about a potential move to Ibrox. This comes after a difficult weekend for the club, as Celtic clinched their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title, while Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by St. Mirren. Interim manager Barry Ferguson expressed disappointment in his team’s performance, pointing out that their inability to maintain leads has been a major factor in their failure to challenge for the title.

As Rangers look for a permanent manager, former Southampton boss Russell Martin is said to be highly interested in the job. Despite his struggles at Southampton, Martin has earned praise from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who lauded the tactical approach he implemented with Southampton, calling it a “good game to learn as a manager.” This endorsement highlights Martin’s potential, making him a strong candidate for the job at Ibrox.

Alan Brazil Erupts in Fury Over Shocking Revelation About New Rangers Manager on talkSPORT!

April 24, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Rangers fans remain in suspense as they await news on who will manage the team for the 2025-26 Scottish Premiership season. With the highly anticipated US takeover expected to be finalized by summer, the incoming ownership is likely to have their own candidates in mind to succeed Philippe Clement. In the meantime, Barry Ferguson continues to lead the team, having guided them to the Europa League quarter-finals as interim manager.

On talkSPORT, Alan Brazil dismissed the suggestion of Jose Mourinho taking over at Ibrox, defending Ferguson’s efforts and calling for him to be given the job full-time. While Mourinho’s potential departure from Fenerbahce has been widely discussed, Brazil questioned the practicality of bringing him to Rangers, especially with the financial considerations of a new ownership group.

As fans shift their focus to the US takeover, hopes are high that a new manager will be appointed before pre-season begins. With Kevin Thelwell already confirmed as the new sporting director, significant changes—both on and off the pitch—are expected in the coming months.
