Will be watching the new Rangers gaffer very closely. Another huge job to pick them up. I like the guy, and his playing style / tactics. definitely a future option if he continues in the same vein up there.

You think the squad good enough for second bright?

I think it’s not a good move for him Bright, there’s too much at stake at Rangers and the fans will unlikely give him the time he would need to sort out their mess.
He is a good and upcoming young coach who is still gaining experience. He’s probably looking at how Gerrard made it there but I have a feeling it’s not going to go the same way for him.
So many others turning down the appointment tells you a lot about the predicament that lies ahead.
He will literally have to hit the ground running he can not afford to lose any games and that is a huge ask.
I think if he waited a while he would’ve got a decent appointment in the Championship eventually and could progress from there.

Seems same with all those reportedly turned us down pre season. Mmmm ?.

At the moment Aus, I can see Celtic getting 2nd!
I believe the guy is tactically astute enough to get a much better tune out of them, but that any difference won't be seen until the New year when he's got their fitness levels up to the standard required to follow his gameplan.
I tend to agree OP, that it could be an awful move for his rep, hence my interest in Seeing his development and achievements up there. I have a sneaky suspicion that he can and will turn their season around, but it will be next season a real difference is season.
Whatever happens, the stock response will be "it's only SPL! " ??.

In Scotland, Celtic are almost always going to finish top, so finishing 2nd only requires a competent Championship level squad, and Rangers are that so no reason they can't finish 2nd.

I take it you're not up to date with the SPL, JR?
