Several names have been linked with the Ibrox hotseat, the latest being Ancelotti's. Indeed, Rangers are 'pushing' to appoint the 35-year-old, claims gianlucadimarzio.com

Ancelotti Jr has worked as an assistant to his father, Carlo, at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton and now Real Madrid. 

He was a youth player at AC Milan before moving into coaching. 

Ancelotti Sr is set to depart the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, per The Athletic, and his son could now take up his first managerial role elsewhere. 

It comes as Heart of Midlothian reportedly get set to offer Lawrence Shankland a new contract. 

The striker's current deal at Tynecastle expires at the end of the season. 

Shankland has been widely linked with a move to Rangers in recent transfer windows. 

Now, however, he could stay in Gorgie, with Hearts set to put a new deal on the table, claims the Hearts Standard

The 29-year-old has made 41 appearances for his club this season, scoring nine goals and assisting as many. His tally has in no manner reached the heights it did last campaign.
