A Brazilian reporter with over 400,000 Twitter followers has broken the news that Luis Castro has been contacted about the managerial vacancy at Ibrox.
The 61-year-old has journeyman stamped all over his CV although he is a step or two up from Pedro Caixinha.
Raisa Simplicio is currently at the World Cup Finals in Qatar but has picked up on a story in Brazil that will make big news in Scotland.
Four days after Giovanni van Bronckhorst was sacked and a month after he visited the Louden Tavern, Michael Beale seems to be getting cold feet over a permanent move to his spiritual home.
Contact with Castro could be the act of an agent looking to get a slice of the action or the Ibrox club wanting to put pressure on Beale for a decision.
One thing that can be said about Castro is that he doesn’t know Glasgow, the players in the dressing room or the expectations of a club that has won two trophies in a decade.
LuÃs Castro, do Botafogo, foi procurado pelo Rangers, da Escócia. O técnico é opção caso a negociação com Michael Beale não avance. @GoalBR

If he was contacted by Rangers, was it most recently? 2nd choice for Rangers?

If this is who the club are looking at surely we’re fucked.

I bet the Staunch will be pleased to have another Papist in the dugout.
Castro? If he goes to the huns it’ll be not so much Fidel as FIDDLE.
Look we all know Fletcher has got the job just ask Godber.
This Brazilian caravan may very well be a twin axle, double glazed unit not a single axle, Mexican one.
It is still a caravan.
Let’s face it there trying to copy us and find someone similar to Ange if they fail to get Beale.
