Rangers’ search for a new permanent manager is intensifying as the summer transfer window approaches.
With the club aiming to avoid a repeat of last season’s domestic disappointments, this summer is shaping up to be a pivotal one. Recruitment at Ibrox will be essential to their ambitions, but first, the club must quickly resolve its managerial situation.
Several candidates have been linked to the role, and recent developments provide hope that a decision is near.
Rangers to hold talks with two managerial candidates
Since Barry Ferguson’s interim appointment, it has been clear that his role was a short-term solution while the club pursued a long-term manager.
Davide Ancelotti has remained the leading candidate for the position. According to the Daily Record (27 May), Andrew Cavenagh is set to hold further talks with Ancelotti this week.
Russell Martin, recently dismissed by Southampton despite leading them to promotion, is also expected to meet with Cavenagh to discuss the vacancy. Cavenagh’s presence at Rangers’ final match of the season underlines just how tightly managed and critical this process is.
Major changes needed at Ibrox
Rangers cannot afford missteps over the coming months. With Celtic firmly ahead in the domestic race and Rangers narrowly missing out in the Europa League, the need for change is urgent.
To re-establish themselves as a dominant force in Scottish football, decisive and effective action is required—starting with the right managerial appointment.
