Major Rangers manager search update with Ibrox chief James Bisgrove to MISS Cyprus trip to front boss search
JAMES BISGROVE has pulled out of Rangers' trip to Cyprus to front the search for a new manager.
The Ibrox chief executive WON'T travel to Limassol for Thursday evening's Europa League clash with Aris.
He will stay in Glasgow and pursue candidates on the club's shortlist to replace the sacked Michael Beale.
Bisgrove and chairman John Bennett have put Steven Davis in charge of a temporary management team.
They'll be at the helm for the Euro clash and Sunday's Premiership meeting with second-placed St Mirren in Paisley.
Davis, Alex Rae, Steven Smith, Brian Gilmour and Colin Stewart could even stay in charge beyond the international break later this month.
