Mark Warburton sends Davide Ancelotti stern Rangers warning
The Italian has served as assistant to his legendary father, Carlo, over the past few years at Napoli, Bayern Munich, Everton and Real Madrid. Read more: Warburton, who was in charge at Ibrox between 2015 and 2017, thinks becoming a number one would be quite the jump: "It would be a big job for him," he said [Sky Sports]. "Full respect in terms of where he's worked, the type of games he's been involved in with his father, who's one of the best of all time. "It's very different being number one. There's no lack of respect on my part, but just an appreciation of the number one job at Ibrox. It's a very demanding crowd, which is fantastic. A huge history. "It's a big step up to that number one role. I'm sure he'll find that very challenging. "When I went there, David Weir made me very aware of the expectation. To go in there, you have to understand the public demand for success." It comes with La Liga 2 side Deportivo La Coruna reportedly interested in bringing Ancelotti to the club. Estadio Deportivo claims the 35-year-old has an offer from Rangers, but that La Coruna have also expressed an interest in his services. It remains to be seen where Ancelotti may end up, or who will take the reins at Ibrox this summer.

La Liga 2 side express 'interest' in Ancelotti amid Rangers 'offer'
The Italian has been widely linked with the vacant Rangers post over the past few weeks. The Ibrox side remain on the hunt for a permanent successor to Philippe Clement. Read more: Ancelotti's name has been mentioned in connection with the post, although Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo claims that La Liga 2 side Deportivo La Coruna have expressed 'interest' in making him their manager for the 2025/26 season. It is said that Ancelotti also has an 'offer' from Rangers, as he ponders his next move after splitting from his legendary father, Carlo, who was recently unveiled as the new Brazil manager. It remains to be seen whether Ancelotti will come to Ibrox. Dave King recently outlined his preference for who the new Rangers manager should be: "I'd be very surprised if they haven't spoken to him because Steven [Gerrard] is the obvious choice," he told the Rangers Review. "I think I know him well enough to fairly accurately state it would be unfinished business for him. "Steven left at a time he didn't want to leave. That's a fact. And the team was still top of the league at the time that he left. He wanted to defend that title. I think he would have defended the title had he stayed. "So from Steven's personal point of view and where he is at the moment, I think he'd love nothing more than to come back to the club and take on the challenge of restoring the club. And it's not just about one title because the project that we hope we're starting now is a project to make Rangers the dominant number one team in Scotland. "It's not about winning another league title. It's about really putting Rangers back at the top. This is a project. It's not a one-off. And I think Steven would be perfect for that. "So I'd be very surprised if they haven't spoken to Steven because he's, as I say, he's by far the least risky candidate to give new money to, by far the least risky candidate."
