Brendan Rodgers has Rangers next boss on 'a hiding to nothing' as Michale Beale successor handed Celtic warning

Structure, control and stability amidst the chaos of Scottish football is why Brendan Rodgers and Celtic will continue to reign supreme over Rangers.

Gary Holt believes no amount of changing of the guard at Ibrox will shift the status quo from a club so ahead of the game compared to the anarchy engulfing their rivals on the opposite side of the city. Rodgers has added Michael Beale to a list of managerial casualties which include Mark Warburton, Graeme Murty and Pedro Caixinha and the onetime Hoops midfielder expects that list to extend into the future.

Holt has seen the other side of the chaos coin during a spell under Lou Macari and Tommy Burns back in the 1990s when gaffers came and went at Parkhead in a similar regularity now being witnessed with the Light Blues. But the former Livingston and Falkirk boss believes both Rodgers factor and forward planning is such that the Rangers recruitment process is already doomed to failure.

He said: “There is a structure and a continuity plan in place at Celtic regardless of who the manager is. The culture of a club should be of massive importance, it allows everyone to buy into exactly what it is trying to do.

“The manager then goes hand and hand with the beliefs of the club and Celtic have that with Rodgers, it’s been a seamless transition from life after Ange Postecoglou and much of that is down to the structures already time served and in place.

“Rodgers talks about an ethos and about what Celtic are trying to achieve and I look at the infrastructure, the backroom staff, the different elements within the business side of things and the football department and it’s a well oiled machine. It shouldn’t be forgotten the troubles Celtic had to reach this point.”

Holt is convinced
