DAVIDE ANCELOTTI believes he's Rangers' first choice to take over as their new manager, it's being claimed.
But a report states that Rangers must act fast to agree a deal and bring him to Ibrox - or they could potentially miss out on Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric too.

According to the BBC, Ancelotti Jr is keen on taking the job but wants to reach an agreement with Ibrox chiefs in the coming days.
It's said the son of the legendary manager is well-thought of by Real Madrid players, and some are even interested in linking up with the coach in Glasgow should he get appointed.
Croatia legend Modric has been reportedly sounded out by Ancelotti about the prospect of moving to Scotland and it's believed he didn't rule it out.
Modric, 39, is out of contract this summer and has confirmed he will leave the Spaniosh giants after the end of their Fifa Club World Cup campaign.

King issues Rangers word of caution amid 'domiant force' vow
However, King also wiped out any hopes of a wild spending spree upon arrival at the club as he insisted progress will be made in a "disciplined, stable manner". The former chairman remains convinced that the new majority owners are the right people to drive the club forward but urged a word of caution to supporters expecting a canter to the league title or guaranteed European qualification in the first year. Read more: 'I think I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again just so there's absolute clarity,' King said to The Rangers Review. 'I would not be introducing Andrew and the 49ers if I did not believe they were the right people to take the club forward. I would regard that as a failure by me in terms of my judgment as well. I really do believe they are the right people to take the club forward. 'Where I would caution is, they're going to do it in a disciplined, stable manner. So, if the supporters have got a sense that all of a sudden they're going to come in and spend vast amounts of money and you're going to have a team that runs away with the league next year and qualifies for Europe, then I think that's over-ambitious. 'I think what we should start seeing is a coherent plan. I think you should expect to see better communication with supporters, where people are aware of what the plan is, what's happening. It won't be like a black hole from an information point of view. 'And they are coming in with a commitment not to win a league title, but to make Rangers the dominant force in Scotland. That is what this project is about. It's not about winning one or two titles. It's about the next ten, 20 years and I think that's why I'm excited about it, because I think they are the right people.'

Scott Brown reveals the one Celtic booking he 'didn't deserve' as chuckling hero has no complaints about the other 145
Brown has few complaints about the bookings he received as a player... But this one still rankles Scott Brown was shown 146 yellow cards in his Celtic career – but there was only one of them he didn't deserve in his eyes. And it was arguably the most famous one of them all. The former Hoops captain was no stranger to the referee's book with his tough-tackling style and wind-up merchant approach putting him on the wrong side of many an official over the years. It was part of what made him an icon in the eyes of fans, of course, and the now- Ayr United boss has few regrets over doing whatever it took – after all it helped deliver an incredible 22 major trophies. But there's one booking that still rankles. The one he was shown for getting in the face of El-Hadj Diouf. The image of Brown standing in front of the Rangers forward with his arms spread out is a famous one. It occurred in 2011 when Brown put Celtic into the lead against Rangers in a Scottish Cup tie and made a beeline for Diouf who didn't take it well. And speaking on Frank McAvennie's Let Me Be Frank podcast, Brown said: 'I got booked for that. Honestly. That's probably the only booking I didn't deserve. 'We were having a go all season, to be fair. It was every game, then, was he still there that season afterwards? I can't remember how long he was there. 'But it was actually quite good banter. I liked somebody who gave me something back.'
