Four Rangers manager ‘candidates’ named as shortlist revealed

Four reported candidates have emerged in the race to become Rangers' next permanent manager. 

Interim head coach Barry Ferguson is currently at the helm after taking charge of the side following Philippe Clement's dismissal at the end of February. 

The club remains on the hunt for a long-term successor to the Belgian, and a quartet of names have emerged today.

Indeed, Steven Gerrard is being 'considered' for the role, alongside former Wolves manager Gary O’Neil, Russell Martin, and Rob Edwards, claims The Telegraph

It is said that there is currently 'no clear favourite' for the job, with several foreign candidates also on the longlist. 

Two of the names mentioned have clear connections to Rangers. Gerrard took charge of the club for over three years and led them to the Scottish Premiership title in 2021 before departing for Aston Villa later the same year. 

Martin, who departed Southampton in England's Premier League earlier this season, spent a brief spell at Ibrox as a player when Rangers initially returned to the Scottish top-flight. 

It currently remains to be seen who will be in the dugout going into the next season, although before the current campaign is out, Ferguson still has three games to go. 

His team welcome Aberdeen to Ibrox on Sunday before Dundee United make the trip to Glasgow a few days later. Rangers then finish off their campaign with a trip to face European-chasing Hibernian at Easter Road.
