After being linked with the likes of Jose Mourinho, Marco Rose, Sean Dyche and Steven Gerrard, it looks like the Rangers could end up going for a rookie manager instead. Reports have emerged in the Spanish media that suggest that Davide Ancelotti is closing in on the Ibrox job. And Celtic fans will love the opposition fans' reaction to the speculation.
Now, Ancelotti has been an assistant to his father at clubs like Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton and Real Madrid. But being the number 2 is very different to leading a team on his own.
Ancelotti has never managed a team. And it would be safe to say that Ibrox is not the easiest place to start. Even experienced managers would struggle under the pressure of winning every game. It is not a coincidence that there has been a sacking at Rangers for three-straight seasons now.
So, bringing in Ancelotti would be a risky move. And it is safe to say that a lot of Rangers fans are not convinced that it is the right one, as they see Celtic close in on another treble while their team finishes trophyless again.
Celtic fans laugh as Rangers support reacts to Davide Ancelotti news
One Rangers fan wrote on social media regarding the Ancelotti update: "Terrible decision, and we wonder why the Celtic fans laugh at us."
Another wrote: "We need experience mate not another project manager."
Let's see whether the Ancelotti appointment does end up happening. It would not come as a major surprise if the move is not as close as the media has made it out to be.
Anyways, this is a situation that Celtic fans will be keeping an eye on. And they will be confident that Brendan Rodgers has what it takes to get the better of a rookie manager, even though he is the son of one of the best ever and has been at top clubs as an assistant.
For now, the focus has to be on the treble. Celtic need just one more win to create more history while the Rangers look on again.
