They say it's better the devil you know and the Ibrox board could go for a familiar face as the hunt begins for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's successor with Michael Beale the odds-on favourite to make a Rangers return.
The Londoner made a flying start to his first job as a manager at QPR after going out on his own following stints as Steven Gerrard's sidekick at both Rangers and then Aston Villa. However, he is currently on a five-game winless run with four of those defeats as he gets to grips with life out on his own.
Is it enough to merit taking over as manager of Rangers? Or would someone like Sean Dyche with a wealth of Premier League experience be more suited to such a pressure job? It's been reported that Dyche isn't interested in the vacancy while others such as former Rangers full back Kevin Muscat seem keen. Or what about a sensation return for Gerrard himself? There are so many names being thrown about and here Record Sport looks at what three former players have said about who should get it.
