Steven Gerrard is now the short-priced favourite to become the next Rangers manager. The Liverpool legend is just 1/2 in places to take over at Ibrox.
Gerrard, who was working for BT Sport on last night's Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Roma, is currently an academy coach at Liverpool.
The Scotsman reports that the drop in odds comes after Rangers chairman Dave King was spotted at Anfield during last night's game. The odds of Gerrard taking up the role had also fallen earlier in the week.
Graeme Murty, currently in charge at Ibrox, was appointed as Rangers manager until the end of the season following the sacking of Pedro Caixinha back in October.
Others in the betting to become next Rangers boss include Östersunds FK's English manager Graham Potter and Preston manager Alex Neil.
In other news, Rangers released a salt statement on Tuesday night regarding a recent decision by Hibs.
RANGERS notes Hibernian’s decision to cut our supporters’ ticket allocation for the final match of the Scottish Premiership season at Easter Road on Sunday, May 13.
First and foremost Rangers hopes the safety of our fans, who will now be in only one section of the South Stand rather than filling it completely, will not be compromised by this decision, which beggars belief.
This is the least Rangers expects for supporters who have repeatedly proven themselves to be the most loyal in the country by selling out away ticketing allocations at opposition stadiums for years.
This was evident as we rose through the divisions when clubs the length and breadth of the country, including Hibernian, benefitted financially from the presence of our fans.
Rangers will of course bear in mind Hibernian’s decision when considering ticketing arrangements for future matches – both home and away – against this particular club.
