Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Desperate for the gaffer to leave much? Scottish Cup glory for Rangers against Celtic will mean both are looking for a new manager next season 06:00, 10 APR 2016 OPINION BY MICHAELGANNON MICHAEL reckons that a victory for the Light Blues against their rivals could mean both clubs are looking for a new gaffer for the next campaign. Ronny Deila, left, and Mark Warburton CALL it the Old Firm, the Glasgow Derby or the West of Scotland Wacky Races. Whatever floats your boat. But no matter the label applied to Sunday’s square go between Celtic and Rangers there are some things that are not up for argument. This game matters. It matters to the tens of thousands who will barely sleep on Saturday night. It means everything to both clubs who want the bragging rights as well as the chance to win silverware. But it also means a heck of a lot to the two men in the dugouts. For perhaps the first time in the history of the fixture (give us a break from the deid/no deid stuff for now) it looks like one result could seal the same fate for both managers. Ronny Deila has plenty to think about A Rangers victory and both clubs could be looking for new managers in the summer. If Gers win then Ronny Deila is doomed. Simple as that. There would be no way back for the Norwegian. But if the Ibrox side pull it off then the chances are they too will be looking for a new manager sooner than they hoped. Mark Warburton has done a fine job of keeping himself on the radar of clubs down in England while getting the job done in the Scottish Championship. His stock remains high down there after Brentford and he’s had a sniff at the odd gig in the last 12 months. Let’s be honest. Scottish football doesn’t cut it down there these days. Neil Lennon took Celtic to the last 16 of theChampions League. He managed to get the better of Barcelona on the way. Rangers manager Mark Warburton The reward? The worst job in English football. The Bolton hotseat was more like the electric chair and no wonder he looks a happier man to have left it all behind. The big jobs Lennon wanted never came calling but it might be different for the Rangers gaffer. He has been there and done it down south. He has shaken the right hands and appeared on the right TV and radio shows. A lot of clubs would have seen Lennon as a gamble. The ‘it’s only Scotland’ argument. But Warburton has been seen to have cut it already in the cut-throat English Championship then done it again at a big club north of the border. Fulham and QPR have poked around this season. Others will follow. A win against Celtic and his phone will be ringing off the hook. READ: Motherwell 1 Celtic 2: Three things we learned as Hoops take the points Warburton might be worshiped as a hero around Govan but there could be offers that are too good to refuse. The top sides in the Championship are worth a serious wedge and it’s a step closer to the gravy train of the Premier League. Managers are not daft. They know they need to strike when they are hot because it can only take a few weeks and they are colder than a polar bear’s wee man. He’ll need to take on the financial might of Celtic next season with a fraction of the budget. It will be easier said than done. Rangers manager Mark Warburton salutes the fans Warburton could have a hefty dilemma if he can pull it off next weekend. There’s no doubt he is enjoying the role at Ibrox. He might not like the background noise but it comes with the territory when working at monstrous clubs. He’d be misty-eyed and pining for the days of a packed press conference if his career goes south and he ends up in front of a couple of local hacks in League Two. There are not many jobs with the same pressure and scrutiny as he gets in Scotland but Warburton should lap it up. At the moment he has fulfilled his job description. He’s got Rangers up and got them playing attractive football. Beating their fiercest foes might not quite be his Barcelona moment but it would be above and beyond the call of duty. He’ll have his work cut out because Celtic are stronger. They might not be playing particularly well but they have a squad packed full of internationalists. The Hoops midfield containing Scott Brown, Nir Bitton, Stefan Johansen and Tom Rogic is streets ahead of what they will be up against in light blue. The Roar returns from Ronny Deila In Leigh Griffiths they have the best striker in the country. If Celtic click there will only be one result. But if those guys can’t cut it on the biggest of stages then the buck stops at the gaffer’s door. Defeat is unthinkable for Deila. Even a Premiership title won’t save him if he suffers humiliation at Hampden. Celtic fans will just about accept going out of cups to the likes of Inverness and Ross County. Losing to Rangers at this stage would be a different ball game. Never mind the Oldco, Newco or Sevco stuff, a Rangers win and th Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyc06 6,927 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 There is a slight element of truth in what he says... Slight! If we win today, then go on to win the Scottish Cup clubs will come calling for the gaffer! Diddy league, no really a treble, whatever.. He has turned fortunes around at Rangers so there will be clubs sniffing around! However, the lure of high end championship/bottom of the pile Premiership teams shouldn't be enough to tempt Warbs away from the project he started! Not with a crack at Europe mixed into the bargain! Aswell as the chance he would then have to go for the Champions League! People seem to write of the lure that Rangers have! Granted it's not been great as of late, due to us being down the leagues but we're back and I don't see it being long until we are competing against the best Europe has to offer! So, aye he might get a few offers but will we be looking for a new gaffer? Doubt it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 5 days ago Mr Warburton's ex team Brentford easily beat TLBs ex team Bolton 3-1 after being 3-0 up and easing off, to effectively seal relegation for Bolton and keep themselves in a healthy position in the Championship, probably the best times they have ever achieved. Nuff said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Enclosure Row N 2,859 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Bottom line - every single bear knows that if Arsenal (or similar) come calling, then our manager would have to be mental to turn them down. Anybody thinking anything else is off their nut. I have lived the last four years day by day, game by game, week by week. For now - I see no reason for that to be different in any way. We have remarkably talented manager. It's a privilege to watch what he has done and I look forward to watching him for a long time to come :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
