Jack Ross has lead St Mirren to the Scottish Championship title – but is he ready for a go at Premiership giants Rangers?

Jack Ross is far from one of the frontrunners to take over at Rangers if current manager Graeme Murty gets the chop at the end of this season.

As stated by Sky Bet, the likes of Frank de Boer, Alex Neil, Glenn Hoddle and Steve Clarke (below) are all in the running – but the highly-rated St Mirren boss is a distant 20/1.

But that does not mean he should not be considered should Rangers decide that Murty is not the man to take them forward.

41-year-old Ross is one of the brightest minds in Scottish football and the world is his oyster. In only his second managerial post at St Mirren, he guided The Buddies to safety in the second tier last season before leading them to the top of the Championship one year later.

12 points clear of second placed Livingston, St Mirren have already secured promotion to the top flight and the league title to boot.

But is Ross, who rejected Barnsley in February to stay and complete the job at the Paisley 2021 Stadium, ready for a club the size of Rangers?

It seems the fans think the former Falkirk and Hamilton defender might be ready for the Ibrox hotseat one day – but not just yet perhaps.
