Rangers make progress as new manager update emerges
Rangers are in the market to hire a permanent successor for Philippe Clement, who was sacked earlier this season.
The Ibrox outfit endured a wretched domestic campaign, failing to win a single piece of silverware.
They also finished a staggering 17 points behind rivals Celtic, who won their 55th league title.
Patrick Stewart issues update on new manager search
Rangers announced on Sunday, 18 May, that Barry Ferguson will not be in charge next season after the final game of the season.
He came in to replace Clement on an interim basis and was open to taking over the reins full-time next season.
However, Gers are keen on bringing in a new manager as the 49ers Enterprises want to kick-start a new era.

Patrick Stewart, the club CEO, is now responsible for roping in someone to take charge for next season.
Kevin Thelwell, who joined from Everton, is also believed to be playing a key role in the process.
According to Stewart, the search for the new manager is progressing well, with a final decision made on Ferguson’s future.
He said: “The search for our new head coach is progressing well, and we look forward to concluding our process in the coming period.”
Davide Ancelotti will be a stellar appointment for Rangers
Appointing Davide Ancelotti as manager is a gamble due to his limited head coaching experience, primarily serving as an assistant under his father, Carlo Ancelotti, at clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
At 35, his untested track record in a high-pressure role at Ibrox, where SPFL titles and European progress are demanded, carries risks, especially after a disastrous 2024-25 season.
However, the 49ers Enterprises, finalising their takeover, should embrace this bold move.
Davide’s European exposure and tactical insight from elite clubs equip him to implement a modern, attacking style, aligning with Rangers’ ambitions.
His appointment would generate buzz, exciting fans craving a fresh, ambitious era.
The Ancelotti name carries global prestige, potentially attracting talent and boosting the club’s profile.
Davide could build a dynamic squad, eyeing SPFL dominance and deeper Champions League runs.
This high-risk, high-reward move could galvanise Ibrox, signalling intent to restore Rangers’ glory.
