Isco returned to the Spain squad after a six-year absence.

Next Rangers manager favourites revealed with Steven Gerrard neck-and-neck with European boss to lead Ibrox revolution
RANGERS are limping towards the season's finish line with plenty of focus already on what lies ahead. One of the biggest decisions approaching will be the appointment of the club's next manager. 4 Steven Gerrard led Rangers to their last league title in 2021 Credit: Getty 4 Marco Rose is also in the frame Credit: AP 4 Barry Ferguson's chances of the job appear to be slipping Credit: PA It's been a dire campaign for Rangers who trail newly crowned champions Celtic by 17 points and will finish without any silverware. A turbulent season saw Philippe Clement axed as manager with Barry Ferguson overseeing things on an interim basis. While the Ibrox legend initially seemed to get a tune out of the players, it's now five games without a win for the Gers. Ferguson himself didn't hold back in his assessment of the 2-2 draw at St Mirren as he blasted 'what's the point' in relation to players not listening to his instructions. The majority of Gers fans are already looking to next season, one they hope will bring the dawn of a brighter era for the club. The US takeover led by health tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises is close to completion. Some of the other pieces are falling into place too with Kevin Thelwell confirmed as the new Rangers sporting director. The appointment that ultimately will capture the attention, however, will be the next manager. Several contenders have emerged since Clement's sacking back in February. But now it appears two clear front-runners have emerged in the eyes of the bookies. St Mirren supremo Jim Gillespie reveals why he turned down chance to be Rangers chief executive Two bosses are priced at evens with bet365 - one of those is the former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard. The 44-year old was previously in charge at Ibrox between 2018 and 2021, leading the Gers to the Scottish Premiership title just months before quitting to join Aston Villa. He's out of work after leaving Saudi club Al-Ettifaq earlier this year. The other manager also available at evens is Marco Rose. The German, 48, is looking for his next challenge after being sacked by RB Leipzig last month. Rose had spent two-and-a-half-years at the helm in Leipzig and won both the German Cup and Supercup as boss. An underperforming campaign domestically and in Europe saw him axed just a matter of weeks ago. Rose previously managed Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Monchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund prior to taking the Leipzig role in 2022. Next Rangers manager odds *via bet365 on April 28 Steven Gerrard EVS Marco Rose EVS Rafa Benitez 14/1 Sean Dyche 16/1 Danny Rohl 16/1 Russell Martin 20/1 Jose Mourinho 20/1 Edin Terzic 25/1 Barry Ferguson 25/1 Daniel Farke 25/1 His connections to the Red Bull group - having managed in Salzburg and Leipzig - haven't been lost on onlookers' attention, especially with incoming Gers chief Thelwell having also worked for the group. Rose could possibly have some convincing to do should he take over at Ibrox, however. That's because he's previously spoken fondly about Celtic, and even donned a Hoops hat and scarf after leading his Salzburg side to victory at Parkhead in 2018. The odds make Gerrard and Rose the clear front-runners for the Rangers vacancy. Next up is Rafa Benitez, with the former Liverpool and Newcastle boss' odds much longer at 14/1. Sean Dyche and Danny Rohl sit at 16/1 with Russell Martin and Jose Mourinho at 20/1. Interim boss Barry Ferguson is at 25/1 to land the role full time. 4 Marco Rose sported Celtic gear after managing Red Bull Salzburg at Parkhead Credit: EPA Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
