Stuart McCall officially confirmed as new Rangers manager

I can't see him taking this on without some kind of promise for the future, even if only Assistant.

I don't see why not. He's exactly the type of guy I can imagine being willing to help the Club out without his own self interests complicating the situation.

Reports that McCall will be appointed manager until the summer. McDowell remains assistant.

RST

 

Guy should be punted ASAP !!!

[colinstein 294]

if he does really well he has to be in the running for the job full time.

 

that might be the carrot right enough

BREAKING NEWS ON STUART McCALL from @AndyDev28 - McCall signs deal to be next @RangersFC boss. McDowall stays as No2 http://bit.ly/18bTrma

I hope it's not a year's notice period

I suspect the directors having watched the Cowdenbeath and QoS games are now more acutely aware of the need for a quick change if the club is to have any chance of winning the play-offs. A sort term appointment for McCall seems a reasonable idea assuming of course that he is willing to take it. I rather hope if offered the opportunity that he does accept otherwise we might see the names of Ally and Walter in the running. McCall, of course, might not want to take it unless there are assurances about some long term future role. I would suggest, however, that for the longer term it would be good to see the board looking beyond the UK, to Holland, Spain and so on and not just restrict themselves to who might be available in Scotland/England.

Far from being my first choice but he will be the the first manager we've had in over 3 years.

Good interim option anyway, his job at Motherwell is underrated

I'm pleased with this. We get an experienced manager a new voice in the changing room and training pitch, new ideas and hopefully the 'bounce' every new manager gets. McCall also knows the club and the support, he gets what it's about.

If he does well then great, his hat's in the ring for the gig permanently if he wants it, if he doesn't we're no worse off and it gives the board a few months to source and sound out a long term management team.

 

Welcome back wee man and the very best of luck to you.
