Chris Sutton believes Rangers should forget about appointing Frank de Boer as manager.
The former Ajax and Inter coach has been linked with the vacant manager's job at Rangers, though admits he is waiting until the summer before making a decision over where to work next season.
De Boer led Ajax to five consecutive Dutch league titles, but lately had an unhappy spell at Inter which culminated in him being sacked in November last year.
It would be considered a big coup if the Gers were able to tempt De Boer to take over, but Sutton feels that in the club's current state there is little chance of that happening.
Tommy Wright has been suggested as an option and Sutton talked up the current St Johnstone boss, arguing that the Gers need realism in their search for a new manager.

Sutton, replying to a Rangers fan who called for a big name appointment, wrote on Twitter: "Who's a big name? Think a bit of realism required of where Rangers are at present. Tommy has done a terrific job on a shoestring."
With Alex McLeish suggested as a short-term fix until the end of the season, Sutton wrote: "Why short term McLeish? Is he not good enough to manage long term?
"Frank de Boer, under current circumstances can't see that one", he added.
Mark Warburton departed Rangers last week after the Scottish giants announced his resignation had been accepted; Warburton claims he never resigned.
Currently Under-20s boss Graeme Murty is in charge of the senior side and leads Rangers to Dundee in a Scottish Premiership fixture on Sunday.
