'Imminently' - Fabrizio Romano Shares Big Rangers Manager Update

Rangers are in negotiations over bringing in a new manager, and Fabrizio Romano, writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, has confirmed that the Ibrox outfit are expected to make a decision imminently.

The Gers appeared close to bringing in a new manager over the last few days, but GIVEMESPORT sources confirmed on Saturday that Steven Gerrard has pulled out of the race to become the new Rangers boss. The former Liverpool midfielder felt that it wasn't the right time to return to Ibrox, despite being close to reaching a full agreement to rejoin the club.

Rangers are now in the hunt for an alternative, and it's edging closer to the return of Scottish Premiership football after the international break, with the Glasgow giants hosting Dundee United on Saturday. Rangers will likely want a new manager in place by then, but they are running out of time after Gerrard's rejection.

Fabrizio Romano: Rangers Manager Decision Imminent

Writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, Romano has confirmed that talks are taking place for Rangers to bring in a new manager after Gerrard snubbed the Glasgow club. The Scottish outfit are expected to make a decision imminently, with the situation in negotiations...

"It’s in negotiations, talks are taking place. Rangers are expected to make a decision imminently."

GIVEMESPORT sources confirmed shortly after Russell Martin was relieved of his duties that Gerrard, Kevin Muscat, and Danny Rohl were the initial contenders for the job, so it will be interesting to see if one of the latter two are appointed. Sources also confirmed that Mark van Bommel and Derek McInnes were open to the role if approached, so the Gers have plenty of options at their disposal.

It's an awkward situation for Rangers after being so close to bringing in Gerrard, and they are running out of time before they play again this weekend. The Glasgow club will have seen the international break as an ideal time to make a change in the dugout, giving a new manager two weeks to settle in at Ibrox, but it's not worked out that way for them.

Rangers currently sit in eighth position in the Scottish Premiership table, with former manager Martin securing just one victory this season. The Gers drew five times, losing just once, but they are already 11 points behind league leaders Hearts.
