AliousDaniel Farke Becomes Shock Favourite as Rangers Managerial Shake-Up Looms
A fresh twist has emerged in Rangers’ hunt for a new manager, with Leeds United boss Daniel Farke now being seriously linked to the Ibrox hot seat. This surprising development comes as 49ers Enterprises – owners of Leeds and frontrunners to acquire a majority stake in Rangers – inch closer to finalising their takeover deal.
Daily Record journalist Keith Jackson has speculated that despite leading Leeds back to the Premier League, Farke could soon be shown the door. According to Jackson, the 49ers may view Farke as more compatible with the Scottish Premiership than the challenges of England’s top flight. He posed the possibility that this could be part of a broader “umbrella club” strategy, where Farke’s future lies not in Elland Road but at Ibrox.
The idea of shifting Farke north of the border aligns with the 49ers’ long-term football philosophy. Farke boasts a reputation for building cohesive, attacking sides and has proven his ability to secure promotion — a quality Rangers could harness in their quest to reclaim domestic dominance. His track record with player development also fits the 49ers’ data-driven, youth-first model, making him a strong candidate to spearhead a new era at Rangers.
If the takeover is completed and the German tactician is installed, Farke’s leadership could mark the start of a bold, modernised chapter for the Glasgow giants — one that aims to restore their supremacy both in Scotland and in Europe.
