Pep Guardiola

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.
