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

An Open Letter to the Faux Contemptuous English. It's Time To Respect Scottish Football

"My Nan could score 40 up there." "Not hard to win the league when youre playing pub teams every week" "I could manage Celtic and still win the league" Move over Adrian Durham. His hatefulness of the Scottish game when his pals in Light blue aren't on top of the pile has seemed to trickle down to those of you who seemingly dont care about Football north of the Boarder. Yet you care enough to write about how your Nan could sprint onto a long ball by Stephen McManus, whilst avoiding a crunching tackle by Ash Taylor. And better yet, has the wherewithal to guide a delicate chip over the head of Joe Lewis and into the back of the net. Easy. Perhaps you dont care. You are probably trapped in your own little bubble. I can only hazard a guess at what goes on with the Premier League PR meetings. "The best league in the world?" Nah, we cant use that anymore. "How about... the most exciting?" Nah, Maybe last year, but chelsea have had t...

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...
