Rangers are on the hunt for a new manager for the second time in just eight months, following the club’s decision to sack Russell Martin as Ibrox boss following Sunday’s dismal 1-1 draw with Falkirk.
His short time as Rangers head coach ended just 123 days after his appointment by the club’s new American owners, a disastrous start that saw him win just one of his opening seven league games, resulting in the club cutting ties with the ex-Scotland international. Martin left with a win ratio of just 27 per cent from his 17 matches in all competitions as Rangers manager.
The shortest managerial reign in the history of the Govan club, the decision of who will be appointed as the next boss of the Gers is a decision that chairman Andrew Cavenagh and CEO Patrick Stewart must get correct, with Rangers in danger of finishing outside of the top two for the first time since 2017.
Sean Dyche, Kevin Muscat, and Danny Rohl are all in the running alongside former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard to be named as the next head coach at Ibrox, but based on win percentage, who would be the best man for the job?
Here is every candidate for the next Rangers job ranked on their career win percentage, from lowest to highest:
9. Mark van Bommel - 52.82%
Thought to be one of the leading contenders to be the next Rangers manager, the Dutch boss is the first name on the list to have over a 50% win rate during his time in management. Capped 79 times by the Netherlands as a player, he's since taken on managerial roles with PSV Eindhoven, Wolfsburg and, most recently, Royal Antwerp, where he won the Super League, Belgian Cup and Belgian Super Cup in 2023. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. Kevin Muscat - 53.38%
The former Rangers defender is a name that has been linked to the managerial role at Ibrox ever since the departure of Steven Gerrard in 2021. Currently the head coach of Shanghai Port, the Australian boss has only managed 15 games in Europe, with a short spell in charge of Royal Antwerp yielding just two wins in 15 games during the 2020/21 season. Has been successful in both the J-League and Chinese Super League, though. | Zhe Ji/Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
11. Steven Gerrard - 55.1%
The leading favourite to replace Russell Martin, the former Rangers boss was the last man to bring title success to Ibrox, winning the league title during the 2020/21 season. Despite difficult spells with Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq, the Liverpool legend still has one of the best win ratios of any other manager on the list...although there is one that boasts a better win record. | Ian MacNicol/Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
12. Marco Rose - 57.79%
He is a 25/1 outsider for the role (as per bet365), but the former RB Leipzig boss has he best win ratio of any other manager on the list of favourites. Has managed Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund during his career, but his best spell has been with Red Bull Salzburg, where he had a win ratio of 71.05%. | Maja Hitij/Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
