Hoops Ibrox Latest:Brenda Rodgers alongside Philippe Clement snubbed in look for manager of the year

SELECTING a manager of the year shortlist at the end of April is a dangerous endeavor.

PFA Scotland has a history of making early picks. Without a certain, earlier than the football writers.

The elite of Scottish football gathers at a Glasgow hotel on Sunday night for the annual dinner honoring players and Managers and Coaches Association members who were chosen as the best of the best.
That’s problematic because they’re voting while wearing blindfolds. Most of the important decisions are still up for debate.

Philippe Clement might still wind up leading Rangers to a Triple Crown at the conclusion of his first season.

Upon his return to Celtic, Brendan Rodgers responded to doubtful supporters with a “see you in May.”

In addition, he might easily add another double in the league and cup to the titles he won during his first stint.

Rarely does a shortlist leave out a Celtic or Rangers manager. Ange Postecoglou or Steven Gerrard have

received recognition after easily winning the Premiership in each of the past three seasons.

This year, that will not be the case. Jo Potter, the women’s coach at Rangers, is currently the sole member of

either Glasgow team on the shortlist.

Naturally, a legitimate Premiership adds to the complexity.

Right now, picking Clement above Rodgers or Rodgers over Clement is like tip-toeing through a minefield.

However, it would be unfair to all three of them to imply that this is the only reason Kilmarnock’s Derek

McInnes, Dundee’s Tony Docherty, and Falkirk’s John McGlynn comprise the shortlist of three men.

They are there because they deserve to be there, not because they were chosen by default.

Killie has been guided back to the top division by McInnes, who has also produced continuous,

long-lasting development on a budget. His team has finished fourth, humiliating Aberdeen and Hibs while

demeaning both Celtic and Rangers and punching above their financial weight.
