Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers still haven’t found a manager.
Steven Thompson has said on BBC Sport Scotland that he doesn’t believe the Rangers’ board has any idea who will replace Pedro Caixinha.
Rangers don’t appear to be any closer in replacing the Portuguese manager who was sacked over a month ago.
Derek McInnes and Alex McLeish have been strongly touted and, on Monday, Ladbrokes suspended betting on the latter getting the job.
Under caretaker Graeme Murty, the Gers appear to only be going one way after Friday’s shock 2-1 defeat by Dundee and it seems like a replacement is more crucial now than when Caixinha was initially sacked.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen who Rangers’ board punts for but, worryingly, Thompson suggests that they, like him, have no clue who should get the role.
“I don’t have a clue,” he said to BBC Sport Scotland when asked who’ll get the job.
“I thought it would be McInnes and I though maybe McLeish because he is the next sort of obvious option. I don’t think anybody knows and I think not even the Rangers board know.”
Rangers face McInnes’s Aberdeen on Wednesday night and, on paper, there’s only going to be one winner.
Time is running out for the Ibrox club and even McLeish would be an underwhelming appointment, by virtue of how lengthy the search has been, but the delay might well suggest that Thompson is right and that the club’s hierarchy don’t know who to appoint.
