Ibrox leadership have arranged talks with one of their senior management candidates to fill the vacancy rangers Work.

Rangers head coach candidate named

A number of names have been mentioned in recent days, but the Gers have yet to formally name a replacement for Russell Martin. The former Southampton boss has endured a poor campaign, winning just once in seven games. scottish premier leagueit looked like he was destined to lose his job from the start.

Names of this work mentioned so far include Sean Dyche, Danny RohrDerek McGinnis et al. Dyche is the more experienced Premier League option of the trio, but it remains to be seen whether the 49ers are willing to turn to English football again or whether Dyche will be tempted by the job.

Rolle, meanwhile, represents an exciting but risky option. He excelled at Sheffield Wednesday as their struggles off the pitch threatened their quality on the pitch. Now a free agent, he could replace Martin.

That said, McGinnis arguably has the best balance of these three names. The Hearts boss has had a good start to the season, with his side unbeaten and top of the Scottish Premiership table.

Given Hearts’ impressive form, it’s no surprise the manager is on the Rangers books. Whether he’s willing to cut his project short just five months after arriving is a big question, though.

This is a season-defining appointment for the Gers and one that the 49ers must do well. After the latest update, US owners also appear to be getting closer to a final decision.

Rangers set up meeting with Gerrard

According to Sky Sports, 49ers now scheduled talks with Steven Gerrardwhich will happen in the next few days. The Liverpool legend recently revealed that he “Unfinished Business” in Management With that in mind, he may return to Ibrox.

If the 49ers are looking to transform into title contenders, hiring the last Rangers manager to lift the Scottish Premiership title at Ibrox certainly wouldn’t be a bad idea.

It wasn’t long ago that Gerrard was being praised highly by those around Ibrox and now, if talks go to plan this week, a new squad could reap the rewards of his return.

former rangers chairman Dave King The 45-year-old told reporters after signing a new contract in 2019: “From the moment I met Steven, I knew he was the right person to help us move the club forward on the field. He has an elite mentality and that’s exactly what I’m looking for.”

“He is relentless in his desire to bring success to our club and we are delighted that he has signed this new contract, which demonstrates his commitment to Rangers.”

A head coach with unfinished business in the technical field and a former club desperate to turn things around. Rangers need Gerrard as much as he needs them.
