Next Rangers Manager: Here are the latest odds as new favourite emerges for Ibrox hierarchy
Rangers are thought to be closing in on the appointment of their 20th permanent manager, with the Ibrox hierarchy said to be holding further talks with the main candidates this week. After confirming interim boss Barry Ferguson would not be given the role on a permanent basis, work has ramped up from the Glasgow giants in order to appoint a new manager ahead of the new season since a disappointing domestic campaign came to an end last month. With the Andrew Cavenagh-led American consortium including 49ers Enterprises now rubber stamped, an appointment is surely close, but who will the Rangers hierarchy turn to in a bid to bring a halt to Celtic's dominance in the Scottish Premiership?

British tourist's shocking holiday: hotel lamp zaps fillings, nearly burns him alive
After touching a faulty bedside lamp it sent electric current straight through the metal fillings in his mouth. A British tourist's beach holiday in Egypt turned into a near-death shocker and not the kind you post about for clout. Steve Ellis, 42, says he was "nearly burnt alive" in his hotel room after touching a faulty bedside lamp that sent an electric current straight through the metal fillings in his mouth. The same fillings people are now ditching in favour of polished veneers and 'perfect' TikTok smiles. Ironically, Ellis's old-school dental work almost cost him his life. 'I've got fillings in my mouth, so the electric was going up there – it burnt my mouth,' he said. 'If I wasn't able to get myself off the lamp, then I would have burned alive.' It happened in his hotel room in Sharm El Sheikh. Ellis touched the bedside light with one hand, got stuck, then used the other, which also got stuck, before being flung across the room. He was alone. He screamed for help. Afterwards, he noticed exposed wires sticking out of the lamp, but said you wouldn't have seen it unless you were actively inspecting it, which, let's be honest, who does on holiday?

British Man "Nearly Burnt Alive" In Egypt Hotel After Electric Shock Runs Through His Dental Fillings
A British tourist was nearly electrocuted in his hotel room in Egypt. Steve Ellis experienced an electric shock lasting around 15 seconds. He was jolted from his bed after touching a bedside lamp with his hand. A 42-year-old British tourist was "nearly burnt alive" in his hotel room in Egypt after an electric shock zapped through his dental fillings. According to the New York Post, Steve Ellis was on a ten-night getaway at the Coral Sea Imperial ensatori hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, when he was jolted so hard he was "thrown to the floor", he said. The 42-year-old revealed that he was electrocuted for around 15 seconds, and has been told by doctors that he was "nearly burnt alive" because the electric current was going to the fillings in his mouth. "I've got fillings in my mouth so the electric was going up there - it burnt my mouth," Mr Eliis said, per the Post. "If I wasn't able to get myself off the lamp, then I would have burnt alive. I'm pretty lucky. A child could have touched the lamp and then they wouldn't have been so lucky," he continued. The 42-year-old said that he was getting out of his bed when he touched the bedside light with his left hand and started suffering from an electric shock. His left hand then became stuck to the light, so he placed his right hand of the light, but that also became stuck, he said. Mr Ellis said that he was thrown from the bed while suffering from the electric shock and was forced to shout for help as he was alone in the hotel room. He was later checked over by the hotel's doctor and visited the holiday rep, who "wasn't that bothered" by the incident, the British tourist said. "We said we wanted to make a report and he questioned it. He (holiday rep) turned to my partner and wanted her to lie and say that she saw the incident, when she didn't. I turned to him and nearly walked out - they said it would look better for the paperwork if we lied. I wasn't going to lie on a document because that could come back to us," Mr Ellis said. The 42-year-old said that he didn't use the lamp before the incident, but later noticed that wires were sticking out of it. Mr Ellis revealed that the incident took place in January this year. He was left with a ring-shaped burn around his mouth, he said. Mr Ellis also stated that his hands "feel like they are burning and tingling" constantly, so he is struggling to work as a kitchen fitter. "My hands feel like they are burning and tingling every day. My shoulder is in agony, it hurts when I lift things as well. I get half-way through the day and I'm in so much pain. I'm losing money because I'm having to come home early or have days off," the British tourist shared.

Holidaymaker 'almost burned alive' after touching hotel room object in Egypt
Steve Ellis saw his ten day holiday in Sharm El Sheikh come to a painful end when he touched something in his hotel room. And is still suffering from the repercussions, five months later A British holiday maker has been left traumatised after a terrifying incident in his hotel room at the Coral Sea Imperial Sensatori in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. What started as a peaceful break quickly turned into something far more dangerous - a near death experience that left him with lingering pain that still affects his day to day. Steve Ellis, 42 was enjoying a ten night stay, when he received an electric shock from a bedside light and was "thrown on the floor". He recounted the chilling moment when he reached out to touch the lamp, and received an intense shock that lasted around 15 seconds. But his pain wasn't just in his body. "I've got fillings in my mouth, so the electric was going up there," he said. He was later informed by doctors he "nearly burnt alive" during the harrowing experience because of his fillings. Reflecting on the severity of the situation, Steve said: "If I wasn't able to get myself off the lamp, then I would have burnt alive. "A child could have touched the lamp and then they wouldn't have been so lucky." Steve detailed the moments that lead up to the shock; he had just got out of bed when he touched the lamp with his left hand. His whole body received an electric shock and his hand became stuck - when he tried to free himself with his ring hand that became stuck, too. Moments later, the father of one, was quickly flung from the bed. Alone, all he could do was shout for help. He was later checked over by a hotel doctor, but when he spoke to the holiday rep he felt he "wasn't that bothered by the incident", reports Wales Online. "We said we wanted to make a report and he questioned it. He turned to my partner and wanted her to lie and say that she saw the incident, when she didn't." he said. Infuriated Steve almost walked out of the meeting: "I wasn't going to lie on a document because that could come back to us." Although he hadn't used the lamp before the incident, he later realised wires were visibly "sticking out". "But it wasn't something you would notice without going, 'Oh, those cables are stuck out.' You wouldn't have noticed it until it happened," he said. Since the incident in January, Steve has been left with a ring shaped burn around his mouth and has undergone blood tests and an ECG to monitor his heart's electrical activity. The long term effects have also made everyday life painful - and work even harder. "My hands feel like they are burning and tingling every day. My shoulder is in agony hurts when I lift things as well. I get half-way through the day and I'm in so much pain. I'm losing money because I'm having to come home early or have days off," he said.
