Sean Dyche has pleaded with Ross Wilson to invite him to Ibrox for the next Old Firm derby as he responded to speculation linking him as a possible successor to Giovanni van Bronckhorst if the Dutchman fails to ride out the current storm engulfing him.
The 51-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by Burnley seven months ago but insisted he still believes he can land a job in the English Premier League. However, Dyche confessed he will have to “broaden my horizons” if he fails to get a gig in the top flight south of the border.
That could see him come onto Rangers’ radar if they are on a hunt for a new boss at that time and he revealed his relationship with Light Blues sporting director Wilson, who he worked with at Vicarage Road. Dyche appeared as a guest on the lunchtime talkSPORT show hosted by Jim White who read out a message from a caller saying he would personally drive Dyche to Ibrox.
Responding to that, he said: “There is a window of opportunity (for the Premier League) and I think I’m still in it. People say I’ve been out of the game for seven months but when you consider there’s three months of a close season then it’s like four active months.
“I’ve got a window of possible opportunity in the Premier League. If it comes my way then brilliant, if not then I’ll have to broaden my horizons. I do know Ross Wilson at Rangers and if he’d like to invite me to the Old Firm derby – I’ve never been – then he should. I’ve heard so many stories and I’d love to do it. I worked with Ross at Watford.”
