The former Rangers boss, Ally Mccoist, believes that Frank Lampard is the man to relaunch the giants in difficulty of Glasgow.
The stock of Lampard fell in England after disappointing stays in Everton and Chelsea, where he was drafted as a goalkeeper during the last weeks of the 2022-23 season after managing the club for 18 months before.
But he made a strong impression with Coventry, and nine victories of their last 10 championship games allowed them to go up in the eliminatory position.
Lampard signed a two and a half year contract when he was appointed by the Sky Blues in November 2024, but that did not prevent Mccoist from doing so to take over in Ibrox.
The former Scottish striker, who led the Rangers from 2011 to 2014, said Talksport Pari: “The Rangers should have gone to Frank Lampard before going to Coventry.
“I said it for a while and I think he could have been like Steven Gerrard in the way they come to the club with hunger to succeed, because I have always felt that he was too criticized for some of the results in his previous jobs. He seems to have found his feet.
