Rangers Fans React to Viral Photo of Ange Postecoglou | OneFootball

Well, it didn’t take long for this mock-up of Ange Postecoglou in a Rangers suit and tie to absolutely explode online – and you can bet your boots the reactions have been as chaotic as you’d expect. The image, slickly edited with the former Celtic boss looking deadly serious behind a desk, has triggered everything from laughter to fury across the fanbase.

First off, it’s gone properly viral. Hundreds of shares, thousands of comments, and an emotional battlefield across social media. Some fans are playing along, calling it “the ultimate wind-up” and “one of the most cursed images in Scottish football history.” Others, though? Let’s just say they’re not exactly amused. The sight of a man so closely associated with the green and white wearing our colours—no matter how artificial—is enough to churn stomachs. Even as a joke, for many, it crosses a line.

The mock-up taps straight into the heart of ongoing manager hunt chaos. With Russell Martin, Kevin Muscat, and Philippe Clement all being linked at different stages, the mere suggestion of Ange—even as satire—feels like a stab in the dark just to rile up emotions. And fair play, it’s worked.

For a section of the support, though, this image is less of a joke and more of a mirror to the utter state of the club’s direction. As one fan commented, “When you’ve no idea who’s coming, this starts to feel weirdly plausible.” Another said, “We laughed at Celtic’s chaos in years gone by. Now it’s our turn, and that pic sums it up.”

It’s also sparked wider chat about how ridiculous the managerial search has become, with this article breaking down just how inconsistent and mismanaged the process looks from the outside. If anything, this viral image is just the punchline to a saga that’s been dragging on far too long.

For those still hoping for a serious outcome, news of board involvement offers some hope—though even that feels a bit fragile now. One thing’s for sure: whoever does get the job is going to have to work miracles to win over a support that’s been through the wringer.

And no, it better not be Ange.
