Graeme Murty has done a terrific job in terms of stabilising Rangers since Pedro Caixinha’s sacking and still has a chance to lift the Scottish Cup this season.

Graeme Murty’s Rangers future currently still remains in the balance with the club unsure whether or not to continue working with him as their manager or alternatively part ways and opt to appoint a new face in the Ibrox hot seat.

The Gers are currently 13 points adrift at the top of the table, with arch rivals Celtic having run away with the league title in the last several weeks. However, with a Scottish Cup semi-final coming up next and the chance to put a stop to a Celtic’s quest of a second domestic treble in a row, there is still a lot to play for.

Speaking to the Rangers official website, club chairman Dave King praised Murty’s influence so far, saying that the former youth coach can be proud of his achievements having been launched into the job under difficult circumstances.

“Graeme Murty was again thrust into an extremely difficult situation and continues to provide the stability and progress that we need at this time,” King explained.

“Graeme can be proud of what he has achieved so far.

“Whoever is appointed must be able to meet the unique challenges of managing Rangers and ensuring immediate success. It is a priority that we commence next season with the best appointment we can make and that we move forward rapidly.”

In terms of Murty’s chances of retaining his job beyond the end of the season, the key surely lies within the Scottish Cup.

Should Rangers get through the upcoming tie and reach the final, there is a major chance that Murty will be Rangers manager for the years to come, however, should he fail to do so, we will likely see a different face in charge of the club next season.

Rangers Football Club is synonymous with winning trophies, and they have not done so for a number of years now in the top flight.

Allowing Celtic to become the first Scottish club to win 10 league titles in a row would be disastrous, and with the Celts about to wrap up a seventh title in a row, there is three seasons left to put a stop to it.

Regardless of who is in charge next season, the next couple of years in Scotland’s top flight should be a thrilling spectacle to follow, as the Gers go about continuing to bridge the gap between the two Scottish giants, and be crowned champions once again.
