Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers should appoint former Gers boss Alex McLeish as their new manager, suggests Arthur Numan.
Rangers are on the hunt for a new manager following the dismissal of Pedro Caixinha as the Ibrox boss back in October.
The Glasgow giants recently made a move for Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes, but they were turned down by the former Rangers player.
Former Rangers full-back Numan has suggested that Rangers should appoint McLeish as the new manager.
The 58-year-old former Aberdeen and Scotland international central defender was in charge of Rangers from 2001 until 2006.
During his spell as the manager of the Glasgow giants, McLeish won the Scottish league title twice, the Scottish Cup on two occasions, and the Scottish League Cup thrice.
McLeish is without a managerial job at the moment, having last been in charge of Egyptian club Zamalek in 2016.
Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 33 points from 17 matches, five points behind leaders and Old Firm rivals Celtic, who have a game in hand.
Numan told The Sunday Post: “My own choice would be Alex McLeish and there are many reasons why, and he does tick many boxes.
“He knows what it takes to bring success to the club. He has been there and done it, and has the hunger and desire to succeed. He has both the mentality and the knowledge.
“He knows the Scottish media and how it operates, and that is also vital. He knows the demands of the Rangers supporters and exactly what is required. And he has a fine eye for a player, and operates well in the transfer market.
“Apart from all of that, he is available. So, there would be no need to go through a process of trying to sort out compensation with another club.”
