’49ers, come and get me’ – Rangers fans stunned by Jose Mourinho confession
Rangers are on the hunt for a permanent successor to Philippe Clement’s dismissal and have the chance to pull off a stunning coup.
Clement was unable to get the best out of the Gers during his time in charge and the former Rangers boss sent a farewell letter to fans to express his frustration at that.
The Ibrox club are a monumental 16 points behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, but it has been reported that US investors have agreed a deal in principle to take over at Ibrox.
| Team | Games Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Goal Difference | Points |
| 1. Celtic | 29 | 24 | 3 | 2 | +70 | 75 |
| 2. Rangers | 29 | 18 | 5 | 6 | +33 | 59 |
This could lead to a serious cash injection at Rangers moving forward, which is something that could benefit the decision about who will be the next manager at the club.
Barry Ferguson has taken over at Ibrox until the end of the season until the end of the season, but industry insider Mick Brown revealed to Football Insider that Steven Gerrard would be open to a return.
Jose Mourinho teases his next football club
Jose Mourinho has now become a surprise contender for the Rangers post after he spoke passionately about the club and Scottish football during his pre-match press conference.
He said, “In this moment, no, because I have a job that motivates me and a job that demands loyalty, but why not in the future?
“People can say that the Scottish league is a league of two teams, but it is a league of passion. For me, passion in football is something that for me is everything.
“Celtic and Rangers they are big clubs with big fan bases, big emotion, big responsibilities, and big expectations, so why not?”
Mourinho will have the chance to witness that passion and emotion firsthand on Thursday (6 March) as he leads Fenerbahce against the Gers in the Europa League.
Rangers fans want to hire the ‘Special One’
