RANGERS MANAGER FOCUS:
Candidates, Ibrox Board Shortlist & Latest Betting Odds
Danny Rohl remains the focal point of the 49ers Enterprises era at Ibrox, with the German tactician currently spearheading a high-intensity revolution in Govan. Despite a disappointing Scottish Cup exit at the hands of Old Firm rivals Celtic, and a tightening Scottish Premiership title race against Hearts and Celtic, Rohl retains the backing of the board and a contract running until 2028.
However, with the Ibrox faithful demanding silverware and high-level meetings already underway regarding a £30million summer transfer war chest, the pressure to deliver remains immense.
Kevin Muscat‘s name is regularly mentioned with regards to the Ibrox job, while links to former boss and title winner Steven Gerrard are never far away, but the job will be Rohl’s to keep if he finishes top of the Scottish Premiership pile this season.
All eyes are now on the split, with Motherwell next at Ibrox on Sunday, with five games between Rohl, Rangers and the title returning to Govan.
Rangers Manager Tracker: Status & Contenders
Latest updates as of April 2026. Rohl remains the primary choice of 49ers Enterprises despite title race pressure.
Danny Rohl not under immediate pressure, but who could step into the Rangers hot seat in the future?
At the moment, there’s no indication of a managerial change at Ibrox. The side regained momentum prior to the international break, putting them firmly back in contention in a thrilling title race.
Names like Kevin Muscat have been linked with Rangers for some time, with previous opportunities seemingly on the verge of happening before deals fell through. Steven Gerrard, who delivered the club’s 55th league title, remains a fan favourite and is currently unattached, meaning he would always be a talking point if circumstances ever shifted. Derek McInnes has impressed with Hearts this season, but the chance to manage Rangers would likely be impossible to ignore if approached by the club’s hierarchy.
Given the unpredictability of recent years, it’s always worth considering potential alternatives should Danny Rohl ever fall out of favour with the board or the supporters – a scenario that could develop quickly if expectations aren’t met.
