EX-RANGERS star Peter Lovenkrands hasn’t managed for more than three years.
But the former Ibrox ace is reportedly eyeing a shock return to the dugout.

Lovenkrands, 45, was a firm fans’ favourite at Rangers during his six-year spell from 2000 until 2006.
The Danish forward netted a memorable last-gasp winner to beat Celtic in the 2002 Scottish Cup Final and was integral in the Gers’ treble triumph the following season.
In total, Lovenkrands won two league titles, two Scottish Cups and three League Cups with the club.
He moved on at the end of the 2005/06 season, a campaign that saw him inspire Rangers to the Champions League knockout stages.

Lovenkrands went on to play for Schalke, Newcastle and Birmingham before retiring in 2014.
He embarked on a coaching career that saw him return to Rangers in 2017.
Initially working as a part-time academy coach, Lovenkrands became reserve team boss in 2018.
He landed his first senior managerial gig back in his homeland Denmark in 2021.
Lovenkrands was appointed Fremad Amager boss in May 2021 but departed the role just over a year later after a 10th placed finish in the Danish second tier.
His last coaching role was as assistant manager of AaB, a role he left last year.
But now, he’s reportedly eyeing a coaching return.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, Lovenkrands wants to be the next manager of Larne.
The report claims he’s expressed an interest in the role.
It would be a stunning return to the dugout for Lovenkrands with a club that finished second in the NIFL Premiership last season.
Larne also reached the Conference League league phase last season but missed out this time around having lost out to Portuguese club Santa Clara.
Former Celtic coach Damien Duff, who quit Shelbourne earlier this year, is also in the frame for the job.
Larne sacked Nathan Rooney as boss yesterday after just 10 games in charge.
