Next Rangers Manager Odds: Gerrard Tipped For Ibrox Return To Replace Clement

Rangers' season hit a new low as they were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Championship side Queens Park at Ibrox.
The 1-0 reverse has increased the pressure on their beleaguered Belgian manager Philippe Clement, who criticised his players after the fifth-round cup shock.
"They (the players) built back credit with the fans in the last weeks and months," said Clement, whose side are 50/1 to win the title on betting sites.
"Today, they lost everything. They (the fans) are right to be angry. I'm angry. It's unacceptable and the players know that."
Seb Drozd gave the Championship side a shock lead in the 69th minute, but Rangers were awarded a penalty in the final minute of injury time.
James Tavernier, normally so reliable from the spot, watched as Calum Ferrie pulled off a remarkable save to secure one of the biggest shocks in Scottish Cup history.
The Rangers board publicly back Clement last month, but this embarrassment could force a rethink.
Football betting sites have been updating their 'Next Rangers Manager' market on a regular basis.
Let's take a close look at who could replace Clement.
Gerrard Would Be Welcomed Back
Steven Gerrard is regarded as a legend for what he did in his spell as Rangers manager from May 2018 to November 2021.
During his time at Ibrox, Gerrard guided the Gers to the 2020/21 title, which stopped rivals Celtic from becoming the first team to win 10 in a row.
The fans would welcome Gerrard back with open arms and he is the 6/5 favourite to replace Clement.
Gerrard is available after his departure from Saudi Arabia side Al-Ettifaq.

Gary O'Neil | 9/4 | 30.8% |

Steve Davis | 9/1 | 10% |
Jack Wilshere | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Martin Second Favourite For Ibrox Job
There's never a good time to be sacked in football, but Martin's departure from Southampton might just work in the manager's favour.
Martin was dismissed immediately after his side were hammered 5-0 by Tottenham on home soil in mid-December.
Having guided Saints to promotion by beating Leeds in the play-off final in May, Martin will be monitoring the situation at his former club Rangers closely.
The defender spent the second half of the 2017/18 season at Ibrox on loan from Norwich, as Rangers finished third.
Martin is the 2/1 second favourite to resume his managerial career at Ibrox.
O'Neil Would Be A Good Fit At Ibrox
Gary O'Neil is another manager freshly out of a job, after being sacked following Wolves' 2-1 loss to Ipswich at Molineux recently.
O'Neil may decide to take a break from management, but if he wants to get back in a job as soon as possible, the Rangers job might appeal to him.
The fact he is now available makes him a very attractive candidate to replace Clement, if the Rangers board decide to move on from the Belgian.
O'Neil won't be out of work for long and he is currently 9/4 to get the Rangers job.
Sean Dyche Might Want Quick Return
Sean Dyche and Everton parted company just hours before the Toffees beat Peterborough 2-0 to advance to the FA Cup fourth round.
Dyche ultimately paid the price for a disappointing season, which saw them win just one of their last 11 league games.
Will Dyche take a break away from the game after successive relegation battles?
If he decides to get back into management, Dyche can be backed at 5/2 on betting apps.
Muscat Remains In The Mix
Kevin Muscat made 29 appearances for Rangers in 2002/03, his only season with the club.
That turned out to be a memorable campaign at Ibrox, as the Gers won the Premiership, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.
Muscat, who is 11/4 to replace Clement, took his first steps in management with a six-year spell at Australian A-League side Melbourne Victory where he replaced Ange Postecoglou, now with Tottenham.
He has been in charge of Shanghai Port since December last year, after leading Yokohama F. Marinos to J1 League glory in 2022.
However, Muscat might not be ready to leave Shanghai as they are still involved in the Asian Champions League.
Steve Cooper Is Available
Steve Cooper is a manager currently available after being sacked by Leicester following a 2-1 home defeat by Chelsea in November.
No compensation will have to be made if Rangers were to consider Cooper to replace Clement.
Cooper's time in charge of the Foxes lasted just 12 games and Rangers might be wary of why he wasn't given longer at the King Power Stadium.
If Rangers do respect Cooper as a manager, then he is available at 3/1.
Rooney Would Relish Old Firm Rivalry
Wayne Rooney is a manager who is currently waiting for his next opportunity following his departure from Plymouth on December 31.
Rangers' next manager will need to have a bit of fight about him and Rooney would relish the rivalry with Celtic. Rooney is 5/1 for the Ibrox job.
Other names in the conversation include former Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand (7/1), ex-Rangers caretaker manager Steve Davis (9/1) and Jack Wilshere (12/1).
Wilshere is currently the first-team coach at Norwich and while the Rangers job might to too big for him at this stage of the career, he might get a call.
