The Glasgow Rangers had positive talks with Ibrox with an important goal of the Gers manager to replace Russell Martin.
Managers who could replace Martin at the Rangers
The 1-1 draw on Sunday against Falkirk in a Scottish Première turned out to be the drop of water that overflowed the vase for Martin to the Rangers, which was dismissed that evening.
The president of the Gers, Andrew Cavenagh, and the vice-president Paraag Marathe have since written an open letter to the supporters of Ibrox, telling the fans that a “rigorous and thoughtful recruitment process is already underway” to find a new manager, the two men “treating it with the urgency which it deserves” and are “deeply involved”.
A number of targets have already been associated with a move to Glasgow, including the former manager of Sheffield Wednesday, Danny Rohl, who is “appreciated by the senior officials” of Ibrox.
Another currently unemployed candidate is Sean Dyche. The former boss of Everton and Burnley has been unemployed since he left Goodison Park, and we think he is very eager to move to Glasgow.
In Europe, other names have also been mentioned to replace Martin. Dutch coach Mark Van Bommel is another “interested” by replacing Martin, while Spanish coach Quique Setien is also on the Gers radar after leaving Beijing Guoan.
One of the “fans’ favorites” and one of the main targets of the Rangers is however the former boss of Ibrox, Steven Gerrard, and there has now been a positive development concerning the return to Glasgow of the former title winner.
Rangers have positive discussions with Steven Gerrard
According to a teamtalk report, the Rangers have now had “positive progress in the talks with Gerrard” concerning a meeting in Ibrox.
It was declared on Monday that the discussions were going to continue and that the negotiations were complex, but the ball seems to be launched when it comes to a return to Glasgow for the 45 -year -old man.
Gerrard, who plays an offensive system 4-3-3, collected an average of 2.15 points per game in his 192 matches at the head of the Rangers between 2018 and 2021, winning the first Scottish in 2020.

His assistant at his time in Ibrox, Gary McAlister, was even questioned on a return to the Rangers with Gerrard on Monday, to which he replied:
“We had a wonderful time there. We really enjoyed our stay there. Steven did an incredible job to win this 55th title.
“He will always be linked to the Glasgow Rangers, he loved his stay there. You never know what can happen.”
The Rangers seem ready to take their time when the fourth manager of 2025 due to the current international break, but at first glance, a return to Ibrox for Gerrard is a real possibility.
