Rangers next manager odds: John Eustace even money favourite

John Eustace, sacked by Birmingham on Monday, is the even money favourite to be the next Rangers manager.

  • John Eustace - evens
  • Philippe Clement - 9/4
  • Kevin Muscat - 9/2
  • Pascal Jansen - 10/1
  • Steven Davis, Wayne Rooney - 12/1
  • Derek McInnes - 16/1
  • Frank Lampard, Scott Parker - 201

Odds correct at 12:15 BST 04/10/23

Rangers already find themselves seven points behind city rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, so have a mountain to climb domestically, and it appears they are set to take the same managerial route as last time - appointing a relatively unproven manager with an 'OK' track record at a crisis club.

Eustace won 21, drew 16 and lost 26 of his games in charge of Birmingham, and was sacked on Monday despite his side sitting sixth in the Championship.

The former Blues manager was as big as 20/1 for the job last Wednesday, but now finds himself the even money favourite.

Former Rangers player, and current manager of Yokohama F. Marinos, Kevin Muscat is still in the conversation according to the odds, while Philippe Clement is the other name seemingly in the frame, with his odds shortening from 14/1 last week to 9/4.

The Belgian has been out of work since June after parting company with Monaco. He was successful at Club Brugge before that, winning back-to-back titles in 19/20 and 20/21, and is in the running to return to management with Rangers.
