Danny Röhl
Danny Röhl is now the odds-on favourite to become the next Rangers manager.
A highly regarded young coach known for his modern approach, high energy, and top-level pedigree despite being just 36.
Röhl honed his craft under elite company, serving as an assistant to Hansi Flick at Bayern Munich during their treble-winning 2019-20 campaign, which included a Champions League triumph, and later with the German national team.
In 2023, he stepped into management at Sheffield Wednesday as the English Football League's youngest boss.
He promptly lifted a struggling side off the bottom of the Championship, ultimately securing their survival, before leaving Hillsborough in late July.
For Rangers, Röhl's blend of fresh ideas and youthful energy could provide the leadership needed to revitalise the club's fortunes at Ibrox.
Slaven Bilic
Slaven Bilic has emerged as another candidate for the Rangers job – a manager renowned for his leadership, man-management, and wealth of experience at both club and international level.
At West Ham United, Bilic quickly endeared himself to fans by guiding the Hammers to an unexpected seventh-place Premier League finish in 2015-16, earning Europa League qualification and showcasing a dynamic, attacking style that Hammers fans praised.
He later led West Bromwich Albion to promotion back to the Premier League in 2020, further highlighting his ability to rebuild a squad in pursuit of success.
For Rangers, Bilic's proven track record of inspiring teams and big-game experience could be exactly what's needed to bring stability and success back to Ibrox.
Kevin Muscat
Kevin Muscat has become a regular candidate whenever the managerial vacancy becomes available at Ibrox.
A former Rangers defender, Muscat is no stranger to the demands of life in Glasgow, having experienced the club's intensity and expectations firsthand during his playing career.
Since transitioning into management, he has carved out an impressive CV abroad, following in Ange Postecoglou's footsteps with title-winning spells in both the A-League and Japan's J-League.
At Yokohama F. Marinos, Muscat preserved the club's dynamic, high-tempo style of play, securing silverware and a place in the AFC Champions League.
His teams are known for their attacking intensity and relentless work ethic - qualities that align closely with what Rangers fans demand from their side.
Ambitious and tactically sharp, Muscat would represent an exciting appointment for a club determined to re-establish its dominance both domestically and in Europe.
Derek McInnes
Derek McInnes may be a popular choice among fans, but the former Rangers midfielder has reaffirmed his commitment to Hearts amid growing speculation linking him with the Ibrox vacancy.
Despite reported interest and admiration from figures within the Rangers hierarchy, no formal approach has been made, and McInnes remains entirely focused on his long-term project at Tynecastle, where he is under contract for another four years.
Hearts have enjoyed a flying start to the season under his leadership, going unbeaten in their opening seven Premiership fixtures and currently sitting top of the table.
Sean Dyche
Sean Dyche has emerged as a credible candidate for the Rangers job - a manager renowned for his discipline, organisation, and ability to transform struggling teams into competitive sides.
At Burnley, Dyche established a reputation for overachievement, guiding the club to European qualification and consistently punching above their weight through work ethic, and team spirit.
His recent spell at Everton reinforced those credentials, as he steadied a sinking ship and secured Premier League survival despite significant challenges - while also working closely with current Rangers sporting director Kevin Thelwell.
For Rangers, his vast experience and no-nonsense authority could be precisely what's needed to bring long-term stability and winning results back to Ibrox.
