Tom English reacts instantly to major Davide Ancelotti development at Rangers
Tom English is never one to shy away from sharing his opinion as Rangers prepare for a critical summer.
Davide Ancelotti has been heavily linked with taking the Ibrox hotseat as he aims to start his managerial career.
However, it feels that with every passing day, there is a new development in the Ancelotti saga, which shows no signs of stopping.
After fresh developments in Spain, the BBC Scotland chief sportswriter aired his thoughts on social media.
English shares thoughts on Ancelotti news
Barry Ferguson has been in temporary charge at Ibrox after Philippe Clement was sacked earlier in the season.
The former Rangers player has had a mixed bag while in charge, but has been vocal about his desire to land the job permanently.

However, the Gers look set to appoint an outsider as Ancelotti emerged as the front runner for the vacant position.
Although it seemed the Italian was primed for the job, recent news from Spain suggests otherwise.
English reacted to news from Madrid that Ancelotti has decided to postpone his career as a head coach to stay with his father, Carlo, until the 2026 World Cup.
He said: “He’ll just have to go and coach Brazil with his dad instead while he makes up his mind who he wants to manage.”
Rangers need a fully committed manager
The Rangers hotseat is not for the faint-hearted, and whoever takes the job will need to put their heart and soul into it.
If news in Spain is to be believed, then it suggests that Ancelotti is not convinced by the role, which should be a concern.
While he may yet make a successful manager at Ibrox, the Glasgow club should only pursue somebody interested in the job.
The Gers have endured a forgettable domestic season and are way adrift of their old foes, Celtic.
Closing such a substantial gap will not be easy, and recent history suggests the Bhoys will retain their Scottish Premiership title.
Rangers will provide an appealing opportunity for whoever wants it, but that person must be fully committed.
In what will be a defining decision at Ibrox, the Scottish club’s hierarchy have an astronomical decision on their hands.
