Official Rangers partner reacts to manager candidates after Michael Beale sack
The early candidates for the Rangers manager job are not exciting and will have to win fans over, according to official club partner Heart and Hand.
Kevin Muscat and Derek McInnes have been named as frontrunners to replace Michael Beale, while the likes of Marcelo Gallardo, Kevin Lowe and Frank Lampard have also been linked with the job this week.
But Heart and Hand took to their official Twitter account (3 October) to comment on the rumours and admitted that whoever gets the nod will need to entertain them to win them over.
“To be honest none of the early names excite me and I doubt whoever gets it will,” they wrote.
“I’ll take the Nirvana attitude of ‘here we are now, entertain us’ to whoever gets it.”
Prove themselves
Fans were relatively excited by Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s arrival after Steven Gerrard left the club, and it didn’t turn out particularly well despite the Scottish Cup win and Europa League final.
Beale came in with plenty of excitement as many saw him as the brains behind the reign of Gerrard, but he failed to do anything particularly well during his time here and has left under a cloud.
After ten months of pretty poor football, fans are now in a place where they just want to see good football and be entertained. With that, success should follow.
We’re already seven points behind Celtic so the title looks like a lost cause barring a collapse on their end, and we’re in the Europa Leaguer rather than Champions League which immediately makes it less exciting.
Whoever comes in will have to lift the mood around the entire club and hit the ground running on the pitch. The club can’t afford to get this decision wrong again.
