The Daily Record reported on Thursday morning that Danish top flight side FC Nordsjaelland want Peter Lovenkrands as their new manager. Furthermore, the Academy coach is ‘flattered’ by the interest.
During his playing career, the Dane was a cult hero at Ibrox.
Across six years with the Gers, he amassed 129 league appearances and scored some vitally important goals.
Yet, more than just a past hero, he is a big asset to the club in the present.
Just a few years after retiring, Lovenkrands joined the Rangers Academy in a part-time coaching role in 2017.
However, it didn’t take long for his coaching abilities to be recognised.
He was soon promoted to head of the Reserves, alongside Graeme Murty.

That team, along with all other aspects of the Gers development system, is performing well at the minute.
They currently sit top of the SPFL Reserve League.
Lovenkrands a promising coach
Earlier in the season, Murty spoke to RangersTV about the significance of Lovenkrands’s contributions, saying the Dane is the one focused on end product, while he concentrates on patterns of play.
Close work with the likes of Zak Rudden and Andy Dallas is now paying dividends in goals.
Clearly, Murty and Lovenkrands form an excellent combination.
Therefore, it would be a big blow to lose out on his services if the move to Nordsjaelland came to fruition.
Yet, he has stated he wants to get into management and the club are unlikely to stand in his way.
Rangers’s best young prospects would do well to get as much out of him as possible, before that exit comes.
