SHOCKING NEWS:Daniel Farke twist emerges as Rangers eye new manager

Keith Jackson has issued his verdict on Leeds United manager Daniel Farke getting the Rangers job permanently.

Leeds are owned by 49ers Enterprises – who are aiming to finalise the deal to buy a majority stake in Gers.

Talks are progressing and things could be finalised within the next few weeks.

Farke to Rangers could be a plan for the 49ers

Jackson has reacted to a recent update on Farke’s future, suggesting that he could be on his way out of Elland Road.

This came just days after the Whites had mathematically secured promotion back to the Premier League – something the German was tasked to achieve.

However, according to the Daily Record journalist, it could be the 49ers telling him that they think he’s better suited for the Scottish Premiership than the Premier League.

Daniel Farke stats at Leeds United

He said: “This is really fascinating for the Rangers supporters. Might give them an indication of what’s in store and the level of decision-making that might come along with 49ers Enterprises.

The story is they [Leeds] are considering his position and/or considering a list of alternatives for the new manager’s job in the first season back in the Premier League.

“It does throw up that question, doesn’t it? If this is all umbrella club sort of stuff? Are they looking at Farke thinking, ‘I don’t think you’re a Premier League manager but I think you might be a Scottish Premiership manager’.”

Farke makes perfect sense for Rangers

Hiring Farke as Gers’ manager once the 49ers Enterprises take over makes strategic sense due to his proven track record and alignment with the club’s ambitions.

At Leeds, he once again demonstrated his ability to lead a team to promotion and dominate second-tier competitions, a skill transferable to Rangers’ need to reclaim supremacy in the Scottish Premiership.
