Rangers fans here in the Tavern are extremely worried about their current position, as Hibernian and Aberdeen are gaining ground in the race for a European place.
The Bluenoses have struggled to challenge Celtic for the Scottish Premier League title in the current campaign, after suffering two successive defeats against Old Firm rivals and Kilmarnock. Indeed, the Gers are beginning to unravel at the worst possible time in their season, as they still have a chance to secure silverware in the Scottish Cup.
However, with Dave King possibly weighing up his managerial options in the summer transfer window as Graeme Murty’s contract expires, there could be a completely different man in charge of the team next season. So, the Gers must be sure that they’ve got a suitable replacement lined up if they opt for change, as they’ll want to challenge for the title in the next campaign.
Nevertheless, Dave King should be talking to these TWO ideal Murty replacements…
Giovanni Van Bronckhorst
Giovanni Van Bronckhorst has enjoyed great success during his time in Rotterdam with Feyenoord, as he continues to establish himself as one of the most promising managers in the game.
Indeed, the 43-year-old has managed to secure three pieces of silverware so far during his time at Feyenoord, as Dutch champions, Dutch Super Cup winners and Dutch Cup winners.
Therefore, Dave King should look to Van Bronckhorst as an ideal replacement for Graeme Murty, as a man that knows Ibrox very well from his playing days and has an incredible managerial skill set.
Alex Neil
Alex Neil has spearheaded Preston North End’s promotion push in the English Championship this season, as a young manager that’s full of potential.
Indeed, the 36-year-old currently has Preston just two points off the play-off places with eight games remaining, in what’s been an outstanding first season in charge at Deepdale.
Therefore, Dave King should look to Alex Neil as an ideal replacement for Murty in the summer, as a promising young manager that has already proved his worth and has previous managerial experience in Scotland.
