Among those approached is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.claretandhugh.info\/jaw-dropping-graham-potter-claim-you-couldnt-make-it-up\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Graham Potter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Record and Daily Express claim that former West Ham manager Graham Potter has held talks with Glasgow Rangers about their vacant managerial role; but Danny Rohl remains the frontrunner for the position. Potter, 50, was dismissed by West Ham last month after a disappointing tenure that saw him win just six of 25 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this setback, he bizarrely holds appeal for clubs seeking a long-term project, even after failing at Chelsea and more recently West Ham.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham\u2019s worst ever manager linked with Rangers job<\/p>\n<p>Rangers, currently sitting eighth in the Scottish Premiership after a poor start to the 2025\/26 season, are in urgent need of a turnaround, so why they would turn to Potter is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n<p>    Most Read on West Ham News<\/p>\n<p>The managerial position became available after Russell Martin was sacked following a brief and underwhelming four-month spell.

However, he ultimately declined the opportunity, citing poor timing for a return.<\/p>\n<p>Danny Rohl, the former Sheffield Wednesday manager, is now the leading candidate. Rohl has reportedly impressed Rangers\u2019 hierarchy during initial talks and is now viewed as the favourite to take the helm.<\/p>\n<p>Rangers fans will quite rightly be sceptical of Potter\u2019s suitability, especially given the club\u2019s need for immediate results and emotional uplift following a turbulent period.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters will be hopeful that Rohl is appointed and the coming days will be crucial as Rangers aim to finalise their choice ahead of their next league fixture against Dundee United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following Steven Gerrard\u2019s decision to withdraw from discussions about a return to Ibrox, Glasgow Rangers have turned their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":209136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-209135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
