Alex McLeish returning to Ibrox? A sensational return to Rangers could be on the cards.

Alex McLeish of Nottingham Forest looks on during the FA Cup with Budweiser Third Round match Nottingham Forest and Oldham Athletic at City Ground on January 5, 2013 in Nottingham, England.

There is a new favourite for the Rangers job – but it is a familiar face.

SkyBet list Alex McLeish as the new favourite, pricing him at Evens, ahead of 2/1 Derek McInnes.

McLeish won the title two times with Rangers during his previous stint in charge.

He has however largely struggled in his post-Rangers managerial career and is currently out of work.

As a man who knows Rangers well, he would take little time to settle and has made clear previously he would be open to a return.

BBC Sport reported last month that McLeish remains keen if the club still want to speak to him.
