Rangers Consider Gerrard, Former Prem Bosses for Manager Role

Rangers Football Club is actively searching for a new permanent manager with Steven Gerrard among the leading candidates considered to replace Philippe Clement. Gerrard, who previously led Rangers to the 2021 Scottish Premiership title, has been out of work since departing Saudi club Al-Ettifaq and is viewed as a strong contender despite recent managerial setbacks at Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq. The club's shortlist also includes Gary O’Neil, Rob Edwards, Russell Martin, and other foreign coaches, with the selection process described as wide open and competitive. However, recent betting odds have seen Gerrard fall behind German coaches Marco Rose and Danny Rohl, signaling shifting opinions on the club's next appointment. Rangers' potential American ownership by 49ers Enterprises and Andrew Cavenagh is influencing the search, though the final decision may be delayed due to administrative matters. Interim manager Barry Ferguson currently leads the team while the club evaluates these candidates ahead of the new season.
