The Rangers Wires Are Red Hot With Luca Modric and Davide Ancelotti to Rangers | OneFootball

If Rangers fans were still unsure about the idea of Davide Ancelotti becoming their next manager, the latest revelations might just crank things up a few notches. According to recent comments from Guillem Balague, the Spanish football expert hinted at a truly sensational twist — the potential arrival of none other than Luka Modric at Ibrox, should Ancelotti take the reins.

Yes, that Luka Modric.

Now, we know what you’re thinking — he’s 38, his legs aren’t what they once were, and it’s probably pie in the sky. But if we’ve learned anything from Rangers’ post-2012 era, it’s that crazy things aren’t always impossible. While Ancelotti remains just one of several options for the job — with names like Russell Martin still floating about — the notion of him bringing along a Champions League legend is enough to get pulses racing.

And there is precedent. Ancelotti Jr. has worked closely with Modric at Real Madrid for years. Their relationship is well established, and if Modric fancies one final adventure in a new league, Glasgow under Davide’s stewardship might just tempt him. Add in the buzz around Davide’s coaching credentials, and suddenly this doesn’t feel so far-fetched.

Still, not everyone is convinced. A recent fan poll showed that only 25% of Rangers fans support the idea of Ancelotti taking the job. The scepticism stems from his lack of experience as a number one — understandable when you consider the mess Rangers are still trying to climb out of post-Clement.

But one thing that always changes the mood at Ibrox is ambition — and if Modric is even remotely possible, you better believe fans will start paying attention. It would be the kind of marquee arrival that not only sells shirts but raises the profile of the club dramatically across Europe.

So while the Ancelotti-Modric-to-Ibrox train might still be sitting at the station, just the idea of it pulling into Govan is enough to electrify this summer’s manager hunt. Keep your eyes on this one — it’s getting spicy.
