Rangers: Frank Lampard will not become Ibrox club's next manager
- Published
Frank Lampard has been out of work since a short stint as Chelsea caretaker boss ended in May
Former Chelsea and Everton manager Frank Lampard is not in the running for the vacant Rangers managerial position.
The 45-year-old was interested in replacing Michael Beale, with reports suggesting that talks took place between the ex-England midfielder and the Ibrox board.
But Lampard will not be part of the club's final-stage interview process, which will start next week.
Beale left Rangers last Sunday following a home defeat to Aberdeen.
It was a third Scottish Premiership loss in seven games for the former Queens Park Rangers manager, whose tenure was brought to an end less than a year after his appointment.
Steven Davis and Alex Rae were immediately placed in interim charge, but their caretaker spell got off to a sobering start with a poor Europa League defeat away to Aris Limassol on Thursday.
Rangers are next in action on Sunday lunchtime, when they face St Mirren in Paisley.
