Ibrox outfit Glasgow Rangers should look at former Gers player Alex Rae, suggests Charlton Athletic manager Karl Robinson.

Charlton Athletic manager Karl Robinson has suggested to The Daily Record that Rangers should try to find a role for Alex Rae.

Rae is a former Rangers player. The 47-year-old played as a midfielder for the Gers from 2004 until 2006.

The former Milton Keynes Dons and Wolverhampton Wanderers man also has managerial experience. The Scotsman was the player-manager of Dundee from 2006 until 2008, and managed St Mirren from December 2015 until September 2016.

Robinson worked with Rae at MK Dons, and believes that Rangers should try to find a role for the latter.

“There are a lot of good people in Scotland and Alex is one of them,” Robinson told The Daily Record.

“He scouts for me up there and I can’t believe people seem to overlook him with his knowledge, experience and passion for Rangers.

“Everything about Alex is Rangers. His passion is incredible. Whether you play him at football, golf or even table tennis, Alex still wants to fight you!”

Rangers are on the hunt for a new permanent manager following the departure of Mark Warburton earlier this month.

Graeme Murty is in charge of the Gers’ first team at the moment, but it is unlikely that he will be the manager in the long run.

Rae knows Scottish football inside out, and perhaps Rangers should look for a scouting role for him.

The Ibrox outfit are third in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 43 points from 26 matches. Rangers are as many as 33 points behind leaders and Old Firm rivals Celtic.
