    Michael O'Neill

    I suspect Scotland will make their move now.

    No chance. Clubs down south will be queuing up. He’s not that daft. Scotland would be a far better risk.

    What Sevco want and what Sevco can afford are two completely different things ... 😉

    Looks suspiciously like they can't afford the compensation for McInnes.

    Poor show if they’ve unsettled McInnes, and haven’t the dosh to pay, when theyve known his release clause all along

    Any chance the Record will run a series of articles on behalf of their favourite team and the only team he's ever wanted to manage? With any luck he'll then go to Celtic.

    Seem to remember back in the nineties Michael O'Neill upset the red white n blue loyalists with a comment about being quite happy to be picked for northern Ireland but just a pity its not a real country like Eire.

    Northern Irish Catholic as Rangers manager!!! Never going to happen, remember all of their old boys are demanding someone who knows the rangers traditions. I'm sure MON knows them alright and has probably been on the wrong end of them as well. If it happens I'll be stunned

    Top trolling, though it surely rules him out of the Rangers job

    Word on the Fylde Coast is that Mike Bassett has got the job. Cracking appointment for The Rangers.

    I loved Michael O’Neill as a player and he was the first player that I really idolised.

    I have concerns about him getting the Scotland job though (other than me having a bet on him). Look at the experience of that Northern Ireland team, particularly in Defence which was the foundation of their success. Do the likes of Hughes, mcauley, Evans, Davis and Brunt really take much management? They were the oldest squad in the qualifiers by a distance apparently and whilst that’s not a reason to criticise him, it does make me think the players are almost capable of managing themselves though in terms of motivating them.

    I absolutely loved the guy so I don’t take any pleasure in talking him down, I just hope if he is the guy the SFA want they look beyond recent successful result and do a proper full due diligence.

    He wants the Scotland job. Stick on in the next couple of weeks. Lump on.

    I agree. Think it’s an absolute stick on.

    It's very sad but I would be very surprised if they hired Michael O'Neill as their manager for obvious reasons.

    As much as I hate Rangers they’ve not really done anything to unsettle McInnes, to date it’s just the media and pundits that have assumed he’ll be the man they’ll go after.

    You don’t Rangers will have spoken to his agent?

    The Rangers have spoke with Aberdeen regarding Mcinnes. That was couple weeks back.

    I’ve no idea.

    If they want him then probably but if they’ve spoken to his agent but then found out they can’t afford him it makes sense they move onto other targets.

    Maybe the yams will be back in for him to allow Potter to step out of the firing line. It was, after all, a 'done deal' within hours of Cathro getting sacked according to some of them

    FWIW, I'm not sure O'Neill would be the miracle worker for Scotland some seem to hope. It would be a comfortable number for him seeing he's based in Edinburgh, but is it really much of a step-up considering the next tournament Scotland could conceivably qualify for is three years away? I'd have thought he might have more ambition than that (ie a job down south) although his recent drink driving conviction won't have done him any favours in that respect.

    I cannot for the life of me think why on earth he'd be remotely interested in this.

    Don't the teams play each other twice in a week or so! Would be interesting if McInnes joined The Rangers either before, during or after these two matches. He can't win whatever he does, apart from saying he's not interested in the The Rangers job.

    I don't understand why Rangers haven't gone all out to get him, unless they would in fact have a problem meeting the release clause. He's the obvious choice.

    I’m not sure, but I ageee that would be interesting if he was to leave at any point before these games. Maybe he will go after if they can get money together.
