Sean Dyche ‘favourite’ for Rangers job should Philippe Clement be sacked

The travelling Rangers fan base made their feelings towards manager Philippe Clement very clear as they faltered away from home yet again - and many are hoping that change is imminent.

Clement was told where to go by the Gers supporters following the turgid 1-1 draw at Dens Park on Thursday night, with the Dundee result extending Celtic's Scottish Premiership lead to 15 points. 

Now in significant turn of events since his recent dismissal from Everton, Sean Dyche is generating considerable buzz as a potential candidate for the managerial position at Rangers, should Clement be shown the exit door. 

According to research from sportscasting.com/uk, interest in Dyche has surged, especially as current Ibrox boss Clement faces mounting pressure after another disappointing performance.

With such a gap between Rangers and their bitter footballing rivals, many football experts believe that the patience of the Light Blues' hierarchy is wearing thin.

As a result, Dyche has quickly become the frontrunner for the role, being installed as the new 2/1 favourite among bookmakers.

Following him in the betting market are former England manager Gareth Southgate at 5/1 and ex-Rangers title-winner Steven Gerrard at 11/2.

Traders are alert to the possibility of a swift managerial change, with odds of 4/6 suggesting that Clement could be relieved of his duties by the end of January.

Sportscasting spokesman Shane Orton stated: “You feel Rangers manager Philippe Clement is on borrowed time at Ibrox and it’s only a matter of days before the owners call time on his tenure. 

“Waiting in the wings are a whole host of familiar names, but it’s no shock to see the latest being recently sacked Everton boss Sean Dyche. 

“Dyche has leap-frogged both Southgate and Gerrard as the new favourite to be the next Rangers boss at 2/1 - and now he’s a free agent I can see that price getting shorter in the coming days as the heat continues to mount on Clement. 

"Our traders also feel Clement is unlikely to survive this month. It’s 4/6 that the Belgian is given his marching orders in January (6/5 that he survives). 

“Plus, with their prime target Dyche now available, this means no compensation is due to sign him - which makes the former Everton man an attractive option and could result in a swift move by Rangers.”
