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.
Luís 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.
