According to Michael Gray talking to Brazil and Super on Talksport there.
Rae linked with the Sunderland job

Would be a good opportunity for him. Surprised they'd go for someone with as little experience to be honest. Especially after their experience with Beale

Bit of a club icon down there, could see the appeal. But would be a big risk for them again

He has got 14 years or so of coaching experience. Obviously being the main man is different to being the no2. Would be no similarities between him and Beale other than the Rangers connection.
Think he's only got a contract until the end of the season no guarantee he will be here next season

Davis might even join him, great opportunity for both if that’s the case.
I would prefer he stayed but that’s based upon sentimentality rather than knowledge of his current role.
Interesting to see what big Phil does in this regard. Building his own team may well mean more than the playing squad. You can see why he'd have wanted Alex to stay on this season as a link with the current squad and perhaps he's immpressed the gaffer in that way.
We'll know shortly I suppose.
EDIT - "In that way" - Big Phil's lingo is now infiltrating my psyche

My only view is I think it’s useful for us to have someone in the group who knows this scene and what makes it ebb and flow .

Maybe someone like Davis comes into the set up tp replace Rae??
Rae has extensive experience in coaching and management.
I don't think he's the right fit for them but he's no novice who just got a break at Rangers.

Very much out of nowhere. If we can end this season on the highest of highs, it will have been some 9 months in Rae’s career.
Any decision on Sunderland though would depend on Rangers/Clement’s desire to keep him beyond this season.
Is Pedro looking for a job?

Just to clarify - we’re talking about as manager here ?
There’s absolutely no chance. Come on.

Agreed. For me, you only need to consider the comment PC made when
asked about a HT team talk - "I can't repeat what my Scottish assistant said"
- doubt that relates to difficulties with the accent, more likely 'what does it mean to be a Ranger'!

He has been coach and assistant manager for numerous clubs, he has also managed Dundee and St Mirren.

So you'd happily manage the horrid lot, how very unstaunch.

I get that. He did ok with Dundee and got sacked after less than a season with St Mirren. All quite a few years ago now. Just don't think they would take a risk with someone based on extensive coaching experience over someone currently in management. Guys like Steve Cooper and Cifuentes at QPR would be better options.
Not really shocked as they only want a coach to do the drills etc as the rest of the running is managed by other people and departments and they need someone the fans have a positive attitude towards.
He’s doing really well in Brazil at the moment, was close to the title last year and top of the league at the start of this season.

Unsure on what Rae’s contribution is to the management but clearly PC values him as part of the staff.
For Rae’s sake I think he’d be best staying here. It’d be a tough gig down in Sunderland or England for that matter for an inexperienced manager/coach at that level.
I wonder what the guy who was outing Rae’s position after the County and Dundee debacles opinion on this is

I’d love to manage them because I would be totally shit at it.
I’d also get all the comps I could for the OF and fill that shithole of a stand with bears.

Funny they don't have any interest in how he's doing now

He may up the standaaaaaard down there
Tbh I don’t care about him either but I do enjoy the Brazilian and Argentine leagues, so through watching I know he’s doing well.
Gotta get the league title to Rangers somehow

Beale wasn’t a disaster that clubs been a disaster for a decade
Sunderland just love taking managers/coaches that have worked in Scotland, rarely works for them but a good opportunity for him can only imagine he is a big personality behind the scenes as not sure what else he does for us, apart from what the manager asks of him. Still seems a tad strange & out the blue though. Think Sunderland are desperate for another season of STID.

Both were assistants at the time, PC to Preud'homme at Brugge and Rae to McLeish at Genk.

Beale was a disaster there mate , they’d a good last 2 seasons . This season has been shite , owners who won’t back the manager and insist on young players & project strikers
No experience & no striker means mid table , they were exciting to watch last season , they havnt been exciting to watch since came in
It would be his third managerial job
Find this comment disrespectful tbh given his long playing career including of course his success with us and coaching down south. What kind of track record do you see in first team coaches hired by us that is greater than his? With the exception of Roy Makaay - argument he's got the best experience of anyone coming into that role for the last 30 years.

One of those shit Rangers Facebook pages have said Rangers have conformed Rae has agreed a 3 year deal with them. But usual clickbait nonsense for the moment.

Lol, I love when FF declares someone persona non grata because they don't look busy enough on the sidelines. Can recall Andy Watson, Kenny McDowall Jan Wouters, Roy Makaay and Neil Banfield all getting it in the neck at some point or other.
