John Robertson has bizarrely claimed Craig Levein would have been an ideal fit for Rangers until the end of the season.
The Light Blues are hunting for their fourth manager in five years after Philippe Clement was finally shown the door after a disastrous 17 months in charge. Club legend Barry Ferguson has been drafted in on an interim basis until the summer, heading up a new-look caretaker coaching team of Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor.But Fergie’s return to Govan has shocked some pundits and fans alike in the world of Scottish football. The ex-Clyde and Kelty Hearts gaffer hasn’t been involved in football since walking away from an unsuccessful stint at Alloa in 2022. However, the Treble-winning Gers captain has been tasked with breathing fresh life into the Ibrox club’s trophyless domestic campaign, while attempting to overthrow Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce in the Europa League last 16.In a lively debate ahead of Wednesday’s clash at Rugby Park, BBC’s chief sports writer Tom English suggested that Rangers powerbrokers had effectively written off their chances of beating the Turkish giants by hiring the rookie boss as a short-term replacement for Clement. But Hearts legend Robbo suggested experienced Levein – who was sacked by St Johnstone in September – should have been a shock contender for the role.Robertson’s outlandish pitch astonished his fellow BBC Sportsound pundits, who laughed off Levein’s credentials and ability to galvanise the fallen Glasgow giants.
