Who will be the next Rangers manager? That is arguably the biggest question in Scottish football right now after the Ibrox club's takeover was made official. Barry Ferguson had been the interim head coach of the club following the sacking of Philippe Clement but was not given the job on a permanent basis. Of course, Celtic will be watching the situation closely as well.
Having seen Celtic win another double and narrowly miss out on a treble, it is safe to say that the next Rangers manager has a lot of work to do. The Ibrox club endured another trophyless campaign.
At the moment, the Rangers are facing issues when it comes to their search for a new manager. For a long time, Steven Gerrard was believed to be the favourite for the role but it has been widely reported that he has turned the opportunity down.
After that, Davide Ancelotti was viewed as the frontrunner for the job. Now, it looks like another new name has emerged, overtaking the Italian coach.
New favourite named to become Rangers manager as Celtic watch on
Ancelotti had been the favourite for the Rangers job but has now been overtaken by Russell Martin. He is now the frontrunner to get the job, according to experts.
Is Martin the man to help the Rangers compete with Celtic? He has had an up-and-down managerial career so far. It began at MK Dons before he moved to Swansea City. His latest spell came at Southampton, who he was able to get promoted to the Premier League but then struggled in the English top flight.
Whoever ends up being the new Rangers manager should not worry Celtic. The club have stability in their dugout in the form of Brendan Rodgers, who has outlasted plenty of Glasgow counterparts so far.
