Some former Rangers and Celtic faces have been mentioned with the possibly Leicester City vacancy.

Leicester City could require a new manager this summer with ex Rangers and Celtic men mentioned with leading an almighty salvage operation.

10 years on from their incredible Premier League triumph, the Foxes have been relegated to League One, after a disastrous season in the English Championship. It’s a far cry from being football’s prime fairytale story under Claudio Ranieri and current boss Gary Rowett's contract expires at the end of this season.

With no extension forthcoming as of yet, new names are being linked, with a former Rangers boss favourite alongside some other familiar faces to fans at Ibrox. An ex Celtic coach also makes it onto the list compiled by talkSPORT Bet. Here’s the full list of runners and riders for the Leicester City manager job.
