Rangers next manager odds as ex-Everton, Aston Villa, Man Utd & Chelsea men linked after Michael Beale sacking

Rangers are on the hunt for their next permanent manager after parting ways with Michael Beale on Sunday night following a 3-1 home loss to Aberdeen.

A club statement confirmed: “The Rangers board would like to put on record their thanks to Michael and his staff for their efforts since joining the club last November. Results this season have fallen short of what everyone connected to Rangers would expect.

“Therefore, the decision was reached today to terminate the contract of the manager, as well as the contracts of coaches Neil Banfield, Damian Matthew, Harry Watling and Jack Ade. The club is pleased to announce that Steven Davis will lead the interim management team.

“The team will consist of former Rangers player and hugely experienced coach Alex Rae, former Rangers player and current coach Steven Smith, coach Brian Gilmour, and goalkeeping coach, Colin Stewart.”

Glasgow World revealed on Monday Frank Lampard, Chris Wilder and Kevin Muscat were some of the names who Rangers had on their shortlist. And following the decision to part ways with Beale, here’s the latest odds on who the bookmakers are tipping as the contenders to become the next manager at Ibrox.
