It is safe to say that this is a period of change for the Rangers. They recently said goodbye to Philippe Clement and brought in Barry Ferguson as interim manager until the end of the season. On the other hand, there are talks about a potential high-profile takeover as well. Celtic are comfortably ahead of the Ibrox club at the moment and have been for years. But the Hoops supporters will certainly be keeping an eye on how the situation transpires on the other side of Glasgow.
Some rumours have suggested that the new owners would want to bring in a high-profile manager as a statement appointment. It remains to be seen how that plays out.
That won't be easy to pull off, even if they try. First of all, not a lot of top managers might be available next summer. And if even if some are, they might not be interested in managing at Ibrox.
Now, there seems to be an interesting update on the entire situation. As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Fabrizio Romano wrote in his transfer newsletter:
"This is an open possibility. It also depends on managers available, not only on 49ers if they can get takeover done. For sure they're ambitious, but it's not something guaranteed at this stage."

So, it looks like there are still a lot of buts and ifs involved in this situation. Let's see whether the takeover goes through or not, and if it does, who the club end up appointing.
Many might argue that Clement was a statement appointment as Rangers manager, considering his track record of winning in the past as well as managing a club like AS Monaco. We all know how that turned out.
Even if the Rangers do bring in a high-profile name as their manager, things might not change much. Managing in Glasgow is a unique experience and not everybody is capable of dealing with the pressure of expectations. Second place in Scotland is as good as last, and winning every league game is considered the norm.
