Record Sport exclusively revealed the 45-year-old Preston boss is on the Ibrox club's radar.
Ryan Lowe came through the youth ranks with Steven Gerrard and could follow the Liverpool legend into the Rangers hotseat after Record Sport exclusively revealed he is on the Ibrox club’s radar as a potential replacement for axed Michael Beale.
Rangers are set to ramp up their search for Beale’s successor with two games to go – away to Aris Limassol in the Europa League and a trip to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership – before the international break when they could look to make an appointment before the return of club action with a home league game against Hibs on October 21. Could Lowe be the man standing in the home dugout by the time that game comes around? Here, Record Sport examines the Englishman’s credentials.
But as players, their careers took very different paths. While Gerrard went on to play at the very top for Liverpool and England, Lowe played for Southport’s youth team and non-league outfits in Merseyside. He then turned out for lower league outfits Shrewsbury, Chester and Crewe before the first of three spells at Bury where he became a club hero, netting 72 goals at Gigg Lane.
What style of football does he like to play? Kemar Roofe recently said that Rangers fans were booing the team because they were bored following a drab win over Motherwell at Ibrox. But it’s safe to say that would be unlikely if Lowe was at the helm. As a former striker it might come as no surprise to learn the Scouser loves to attack with his own brand of frantic and attacking football.
