It wasn’t so long ago that Marco Rose looked like a slightly fanciful shout for the Rangers job.
Now, he’s the nailed-on favourite in the eyes of the bookies – and there are more reasons for that than you might think.It was exactly one month ago that the German, no stranger to a foray into Glasgow, made his first charge up the betting as the hunt for the next permanent boss rumbled away in the background.Since then, a number of dominos have fallen into place that take it from the edges of realism to a genuine live option.
For one thing, he’s no longer in place at RB Leipzig, who mercilessly sacked him on March 30 after a defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach.The strong relationship between the San Francisco 49ers’ investment group and Red Bull, with whom Rose worked at Salzburg and Leipzig, is also a factor worth considering. Gretar Steinsson, set to take on a prominent role at Ibrox, has worked closely with the brand during their involvement with Leeds, and there are working relationships all across the board here.
