Derek McInnes, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst? Maybe the man to take Rangers forward is right under their nose.

Rangers' hunt for their new manager continues. But who is the right man for the job?


McInnes wins Manager of the month for April

Sure, McInnes is the obvious choice. He's done a very good job in turning aberdeen fortunes around while outperforming the 'Gers since their return to the top flight. Maybe, if Celtic still had Ronny Deila in charge, This would be the Dons year. Likelihood is, This is the glass ceiling domestically. McInnes seems impervious to the questions from the media, Though I'm sure, if McInnes is given the option, he will be holding a red, white and blue scarf outside of Ibrox park the very next morning.

That will be giving Stewart Milne sleepless nights.

Then there's Giovanni van Bronckhorst. He already knows what Rangers are all about and the scale of the task at hand. He would also come with a substantial managerial pedigree, having led Feyenoord to their first Eredivisie title in 18 years. This season, though, has been a much tougher slog. Sitting 12 points behind the seemingly imperious PSV, who seem hellbent on restoring their pride after being dumped out of Europe by Osijek. 

After just 11 games, The former Ibrox hero could be available soon, and might well be the perfect fit. But it's a gamble.

Let's all do the Murty

Then there's Graeme Murty. What a likeable guy.  But that's not all,Thankfully. He's now had two stints as caretaker boss. Played 8 Won 5 Drawn 1 Lost 2 - Or in other words, 2 points per game. And with Rangers welcoming Hamilton on Saturday, Murtys managerial record will look pretty impressive should they win, as expected.

Tried and tested. No pay off, little to no risk. 

The players have also spoken about how much they are enjoying training again. And that is huge. 

Let's not forget, that draw came at Celtic Park. Rangers were very good value for the point that day. You know what, Murty got it spot on where Warburton and Caixinha have been well wide of the mark. 

Should Rangers beat Hamilton on Saturday, Dundee next Friday and Aberdeen the week after, He should absolutely be the next Rangers manager

Rangers crash out of Europe and St Johnstone on the brink. Is Scottish football in crisis?

Last night, I watched the most Embarrassing result in Scottish football history. That takes some doing. Whether it be Malmo, Sigma Olomouc, Maribor, Vaduz or even the first leg against Gibraltans, Lincoln Red Imps; the whole thing paints a familiar picture for Scottish football as a whole. Again, We could be starting the season with only 1 team in Europe past July. Pat Fenlon can't bear to look as Hibs are hit for 7 at Easter Road  Pre season felt different this year, Rangers had brought in lots of players from overseas. They have been so highly praised by the media. The normal football fan could be forgiven for lapping it up and expecting rangers to cruise into the Europa League group stages. It almost felt like Scottish football might have turned a corner. With Aberdeen linked with some big names and, if the rumours are to be believed, Rangers have spent upwards of £10m - with the majority of that coming in the form of soft loans. Maybe the Rangers board were also bankin

Scotland V England. Preview from a Scottish Perspective

DO Scotland have any chance of beating the Auld enemy? Our results have been anything but impressive in 2018 world cup qualification - so we could be forgiven for being very negative going into the game on June 10th. Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic. I'll explain why. Although we've been roundly pumped in our away games against Slovakia and Them, it wasn't all as bad as it seems: Now, at the time I was furious. The inability to finish and the powder-puff defending lead to a disastrous 3-0 defeat. Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing. If you can bare it, take a look at the highlights: Slovenia 3-0 Scotland Highlights Early chance missed by Fletcher was followed by  a highly contentious opener by Robert Mak.  We dominated from there - Well, at least until Mak grabbed his 2nd of the night on 56 minutes. Who really cares about what happened after that? The point is there were positives to take from this game... Wasn't there?  One month lat

Why BT buying total Scottish football rights could signal the demise of the Premier League

For a long time now, the English Premier league has been bankrolled by Bskyb's billions, and the influx of money seems to have no bounds.  Just recently, almost sickening figures have been released. Chelsea, the Premier League champions, received £152.8m. Even Sunderland, who finished dead last, were in receipt of £99.9m. So how is it concievable that the miniscule TV dealings of what has become a footballing backwater could greatly effect the richest league in the world? Well... actually, it's very possible. BSkyB posted profits of a little over £1bn. There are approximately 1 million scottish Sky subscribers. and 500000 with sky sports. Let's assume each of them are forking out £40 a month on their sky packages.  Now let's assume that BT have bought the entire SPFL package. Leaving only half of the 500000 with any sort of vested interest in English football. 250,000 Scottish football fans change provider. That's £10m a month. £120m a year. A shade und
