FRANK DE BOER is the runaway winner of the Herald and Times poll on who Rangers should appoint as their next manager.
This week we asked readers for their thoughts on who should succeed Mark Warburton in the role after he departed Ibrox last Friday with the Gers sitting third place in the Premiership table.
Former Gers player De Boer, who represented the Light Blues in 2004, won a third of the ballot with more than 6,700 votes being counted in total.
The former Ajax and Inter boss finished a large distance ahead of his nearest challenger, Alex McLeish, who took 938 votes to De Boer's 2229.
Aberdeen's Derek McInnes finished third, with ex-Gers heroes Graeme Souness and Walter Smith completing the top five.
Under-20s boss Graeme Murty is currently in caretaker charge of the club, but support for him taking on the role permanently is limited with only 106 people backing him.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
