Incoming rangers boss handed stark brendan rodgers and celtic warning

IT LOOKS LIKE A STRAIGHT SHOOTOUT OUT BETWEEN RUSSELL MARTIN AND DAVIDE ANCELOTTI WITH AN APPOINTMENT TO COME VERY SOON 16:04, 02 Jun 2025Updated 16:13, 02 Jun 2025 Rangers' managerial

hunt is fast approaching its end game with an appointment expected within days. All indicators are pointing towards a straight shootout between Russell Martin or Davide Ancelotti as the long

wait for a permanent successor to Philippe Clement comes to an end. The San Francisco 49ers Enterprises are in the door officially and already making changes with Nils Koppen heading out

the door and Dan Purdy in alongside Kevin Thelwell - who has officially started his role. The next job is a manager and former striker Rory Loy has named one glaring concern if it is to be

either Martin or Ancelotti taking over the top job in Govan as they bid to challenge rivals Celtic and boss Brendan Rodgers. Speaking on the Scottish Football Podcast, he explained: "My

concern if I was a Rangers fan would be that these managers want to come in and try out-football Brendan Rodgers and Celtic. "That is going to be extremely difficult to do in a very

short space of time. Ange Postecoglou did do it. But he's the exception to the rule in my opinion. Article continues below "Whoever comes in is going to have to come in and win

games of football. People underestimate flipping between this formation and that formation. It takes a lot of work, time and effort. "Six weeks of pre-season go into building what we

want to play and whoever comes in is going to have to do that in six weeks or the longer it takes, less and less. And try and come in and play a style of football. "In my opinion

Russell Martin and Davide Ancelotti will want to play the ball on the ground and pop it around. Article continues below "At this moment in time, Rangers are nowhere near at the stage of

competing against Celtic in that department. "It is going to be interesting to see how they start and how long the fans stick with them if they do, do that. "I don't see one

of these guys coming in and being able to take the bull by the horns and win game after game after game if that is going to be their uptake. They need to find a way to win games first."
