Danny Rohl has been linked with a Rangers exit this summer, as multiple clubs are keen on securing his services.
The German was praised for the manner in which he improved the team since taking over from Russell Martin, but recent results have led to question marks about his managerial ability.
Rangers are expected to back Rohl going into the summer transfer window, but it remains to be seen if he feels settled in Ibrox.
Will Steven Gerrard become the next Rangers manager?

Bayer Leverkusen place Danny Rohl on their managerial shortlist
According to Fussball Transfers journalist Dominik Schneider, Bayer Leverkusen are keen admirers of Rohl and have placed them on their shortlist.
Rohl is also liked by Wolfsburg, but they have not touched base with him, much like Leverkusen.
The Gers boss is one of multiple names that the 2023/24 Bundesliga champions have stepped up their interest in.
They were considering Fabian Hurzeler, but he has committed his future to Brighton after guiding them to probably a top-half finish in the Premier League, as well as potentially securing a European place.

Who do you see replacing him?
Current Leverkusen boss Kasper Hjulmand faces an uncertain future and does not have the full backing of the board.
Should he be sacked or the decision is made behind the scenes to part ways with him, the German club could then touch base with their managerial candidates.
Via X, Schneider wrote: “Danny Rohl is one of several names on Bayer04 shortlist as the club explores potential summer coaching options.
“With future of Kasper Hjulmand uncertain and Fabian Hurzeler no longer available, Leverkusen are considering multiple profiles.”
Will Rohl consider leaving Rangers?
While Rohl has admitted that he is happy at Ibrox, no manager whose job is not in immediate danger is going to reveal things to the contrary.
This does not mean that he will not be open to having discussions with Leverkusen.
He would gauge what their plans are in the summer transfer window and what kind of backing he is getting in comparison to Rangers.
It would also give him the chance to return to his home country and be closer to his family, which cannot be discounted, as things stand.
There is also a possibility that he has a disagreement with the hierarchy about the best way forward, so it makes sense for him to keep his options open.
Currently, a large chunk of the fanbase is not too fussed if he leaves.
