"If they're (new owners) prepared to invest, there needs to be a lot of air in the bag at Rangers for someone to go in there now and be successful,' Pulis told BoyleSports, who offer the latest football odds. 'Being successful is to get really a lot closer to what Brendan Rodgers has done at Celtic. So it'll be interesting. They tell me there's two or three top managers involved in respect of getting a job there so it'll be interesting who they go for.

Obviously, Carlo Ancelotti is legendary in football, especially in my era. But I was very, very impressed with Davide. He had a very, very good way about himself personally. I watched him coach and he was very organised. "The work that they did was very, very good. He was right on top of it. Carlo actually took a backwards step, really, in respect of letting Davide do it all. So he's worked with top players. He's been very successful with his dad and maybe for him to have a go himself.
