Graeme Murty is currently in charge of Glasgow Rangers, but could Marcel Keizer be the manager of the Ibrox club next season?

Marcel Keizer will be interested in taking charge of Ibrox club Rangers, his agent, Humphrey Nijman, has told The Scottish Sun.

Graeme Murty is in charge of Rangers at the moment and will remain so until the end of the season.

It remains to be seen if Rangers chairman Dave King keeps Murty in the managerial role beyond the summer.

Keizer’s agent has stated that the former Ajax head coach, 49, will be interested in becoming the Rangers manager in the summer of 2018 should he be approached.

“If the club approached Mr Keizer then, yes, he would be interested in talking,” Keizer’s agent, Humphrey Nijman, told The Scottish Sun about the Rangers managerial job.

Risky appointment?

Keizer has been in management since 2007 and has been in charge of clubs such as Argon and SC Cambuur.

The 49-year-old former FC Emmen midfielder was appointed the Ajax manager last summer after a spell at the the youth academy, but he could last just 17 matches in the charge of the first team, as reported by The Scottish Sun.

Now without a managerial job, Keizer would be a very risking appointment for Rangers, who need an experienced manager in charge of the first team next season in order to challenge Old Firm rivals Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title, and should not even consider him.
