One trophyless season at Rangers is unacceptable to the fans. A second in succession could constitute grounds for removal. Michael Beale was playing catch up when he was parachuted into the Ibrox hot seat last season.
Ange Postecoglou was well on the way to securing the Premiership title, but the Light Blues failed to prevent the Aussie doing the same in the Viaplay Cup, and they were eliminated at the semi-final stage of the Scottish Cup.
They had to watch on as the Hoops completed an eighth domestic clean sweep. Postecoglou's departure will have offered some hope that they could snatch their share of the silverware this term.
But in Brendan Rodgers, Celtic have appointed a replacement that scooped every trophy he was in the job for the last time he managed in Glasgow’s east end.
