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.

Barry Ferguson addressed his Rangers players after their 2-2 draw with St Mirren, urging them to be mindful of their futures at the club. Despite taking the lead twice, Rangers couldn’t secure the win, and with the Scottish Premiership title now out of reach, Ferguson highlighted that significant changes were imminent. He stressed that even those with contracts were “playing for their future” and noted that the club was heading in the right direction with the ongoing takeover discussions and the appointment of Kevin Thelwell as sporting director. With a short off-season and European qualifiers looming, Ferguson made it clear that a big job lay ahead.

Shock Rangers XI Revealed for St Mirren Clash: Bailey Rice Gets the Nod in Bold Attacking Overhaul

April 26, 2025 RAYMOND 0

With only five matches left and a manager set to depart, Rangers face a difficult end to the season. Motivation has been a struggle for the squad, and while pride is on the line, stringing together victories may only highlight the painful gap to Celtic, who remain comfortably ahead.

First up is a challenging trip to St Mirren, who have already beaten Rangers twice this season. Despite little left to play for in terms of European qualification, Stephen Robinson’s side is never an easy opponent, and a bruising encounter is expected.

Changes to the starting XI are anticipated. Jack Butland should return to goal to rebuild his confidence, while the 3-5-2 formation might be scrapped due to limited options in the full-back positions. In midfield, Bailey Rice deserves a run of games, alongside Nicolas Raskin and Mohamed Diomande. Up front, Vaclav Cerny should retain his spot, with Oscar Cortes given a chance to rediscover his form on the left. The decision between Hamza Igamane and Danilo for the central striker role is crucial, with Igamane showing promise as the season’s standout forward.

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.

Barry Ferguson’s chances of securing the Rangers job on a permanent basis took a hit after the team’s 2-0 aggregate loss to Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League quarter-finals. With European hopes dashed, Rangers are left with five largely meaningless Premiership matches, except for the upcoming Celtic clash. Despite the situation, Ferguson remains determined, seeing these remaining fixtures as a final opportunity to make his case for the role.

In an exclusive interview, Derek urged the Rangers board to seriously consider Barry’s no-nonsense approach and the positive impact he’s had on both the players and fans. Derek also highlighted Barry’s ability to bring in experienced staff, further solidifying his position as a serious contender for the job. With the season winding down, Barry’s goal now is to secure six wins from the final matches, a feat that could make it difficult for the board to look elsewhere.
