|---|---|---|
| Russell Martin | 7/4 | 36.4% |
| Barry Ferguson | 5/2 | 28.6% |

What the expert says...
Familiar Names Still in the Frame
Barry Ferguson could turn his interim role at Ibrox into a more permanent one and would surely be the cheapest appointment that the board can make.
Steven Gerrard famously led Rangers to an unbeaten Premiership title in 2020/21 and is also attracting money in the betting after he left Al Ettifaq.
Further back, Jose Mourinho (10/1) is the wildcard in the market after the Portuguese manager flirted with Rangers when his Fenerbahçe side were knocked out in the Europa League last round.
