Former West Ham boss Harry Redknapp is backing nephew Frank Lampard for the Rangers job.

Redknapp, who was playing golf at Loch Lomond earlier this week, has urged the Rangers board to make a move for Chelsea manager Lampard after he pulled out of the running to be Norwich boss.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst remains favourite for the Ibrox vacancy but Redknapp told The Sun: “It's got to be Frank, hasn't it? He'll go there. I'd take him all day long. Steven Gerrard then Frank Lampard — sounds good to me.

“If you're looking at like for like then Frank's perfect — over 100 caps for England, won everything as a player, great football man, top manager, made for the highest level.

"Frank could do it no problem. He's got great knowledge of the game and is a hard worker.

“Frank could retire if he wanted to because he's done very well for himself in football, but he's still got that desire to get back in since he left Chelsea.

“Every TV company in the country is chasing him but he's not interested, he just wants to manage.

“I think Norwich City were very keen but Rangers would be very interesting for Frank.

“They should make contact and see what he says, at least give him something to think about."
