Graeme Souness might have company in the list of former Tottenham players who went on to manage Rangers.
The Scottish Premiership club are on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Russell Martin on Sunday after a dreadful start to the season.
Martin, who signed Mikey Moore on loan from Tottenham in the summer, was axed after winning just one out of seven league games, dropping out of the Champions League qualifying and failing to win either of Rangers’ first two Europa League matches.
Steven Gerrard is widely reported to be the leading contender for the job.
However, recent developments in the betting market suggest that things aren’t as clear-cut as first thought.

Stephen Robinson odds slashed as Rangers hunt new manager
Tottenham’s academy has produced a lot of top talent over the years.
Stephen Robinson doesn’t exactly fit into that category as he only ever made two senior appearances for Tottenham.
However, the now-50-year-old crafted a great career for himself in the Football League at Bournemouth, Preston and Luton, while also playing seven times for Northern Ireland before hanging up his boots in 2008.
Robinson then dipped his toes into management and after spells at Oldham, Motherwell and Morecambe, the St Mirren boss has been touted as a potential Rangers manager after Martin was axed at the weekend.
Some bookies have now slashed their odds on the former Spurs midfielder to as low as 10/1, and the third-favourite behind Gerrard (4/9) and Kevin Muscat (11/2).
Spurs youngster Moore has struggled since joining Rangers on loan and for him, he’ll no doubt be praying that whoever the new manager is will be able to kickstart his season.
What former Tottenham figures have made it at Rangers?
Souness is one of the most obvious ones.
Although he never actually played for Tottenham’s first team at the start of his career, he did manage to win the FA Youth Cup with the London club in 1969-70.
Souness went on to become one of the best British midfielders of the 1970s and 1980s with Liverpool, Sampdoria and, later, Rangers, where he served as a player-manager.
In his time at Ibrox, Souness won the Scottish league twice and the Scottish League Cup three times.
Paul Gascoigne, Richard Gough, Graham Roberts, Alan Hutton, Nico Kranjcar and Jermain Defoe are also among the plethora of players to have played for both Tottenham and Rangers.
