Rangers have endured a difficult start to the season, winning one of their seven league matches so far. This saw them to show the Ibrox exit door to Russell Martin on October 5th.
The Scottish club are still working on appointing a new permanent manager. Ole Gunnar Solskjær has emerged as a Rangers option for the vacant job at Ibrox. He’s has been without a job since Beşiktaş released him at the end of August.
Solskjær is also in the running for the Sweden job, after they parted ways with Jon Dahl Tomasson on Tuesday. The national team have lost three of their four World Cup qualifiers and are bottom of the group table.
Fotboll Direkt report the Swedish football association have been in contact with the 52-year-old Norwegian.
They relay claims made in the UK about Rangers making an approach for him and then provide their own take. Fotboll Direkt back this up and say the Ibrox club have contacted Solskjær to become Russell Martin’s successor.
Rangers may well be being used by Solskjær’s camp, if he indeed does want the Sweden job, to hurry things along. That would explain someone confirming contact to the Swedish media.
