Rangers have not as yet established a leading candidate to be their new manager, amid reports Davide Ancelotti is set to be offered the position.
Spanish newspaper Marca say the 35-year-old Real Madrid assistant, who is the son of outgoing Bernabeu head coach Carlo Ancelotti, has been identified by 49ers Enterprises, who are in talks to take over the Scottish Premiership club.
However, Rangers are continuing discussions with potential managers, with sources indicating they are still in the early stages of the process and that suggestions of a leading candidate are inaccurate.
Five-time Champions League-winning manager Carlo Ancelotti, 65, will depart Real at the end of the month to take on the Brazil head coach job.
Italian Davide Ancelotti previously assisted his father at Bayern Munich, Napoli and Everton and was on the books of AC Milan and Borgomanero as a player.
Barry Ferguson has overseen Rangers’ past 13 games as interim head coach following Philippe Clement’s sacking in February.
Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley has marked his 69th birthday, but admitted he’s always been accused of one thing when it comes to maintaining his looks as he gets older

Over the years, Richard Madeley has been open about ageing, but he’s constantly denied making one major change that is often spotlighted during his various TV appearances. And at the age of 69, having marked his birthday today (13 May), the Good Morning Britain host has revealed the secret behind his youthful looks.
Richard, who found fame alongside wife Judy Finnigan on ITV’s This Morning, previously spoke about defying ageing on the White Wine Question Time podcast with Kate Thornton. Speaking about his hair, Richard revealed he had light hair as a child before it went darker, but over the past “20 years”, he’s gone grey.
“I’ve been accused of actually dying my hair lighter, which I always happily and honestly refute. I don’t. It’s funny, again, I’ve kind of come full circle!” he laughed.
He revealed his lighter locks are usually from holidaying in the south of France, where he owns a “little place”. The TV star said the “sun lightens” his hair, meaning when he comes back to GMB viewers begin to question if he’s had highlights added to his hair.

Kate noted that Richard could “pass for a man much younger”, but he admitted he thinks he seems youthful due to having aged on camera in front of millions. He told her: “Don’t you think that’s because I’ve not actually ever been off…. So you know, I’m ageing slowly on camera because I haven’t been away for like five years or 10 years.”
The TV host went on to reveal that he does keep an eye on his weight as gets older, saying he feels it’s “important” to keep an eye on the scales as “you get into middle age”.
Elsewhere, Richard spoke about his beloved wife Judy, 76, on the podcast. He revealed she is “really enjoying” no longer being on TV, having stopped regularly appearing of programmes in around 2015. She has since turned her focus to writing novels, including 2023 release Roseland.

Richard admitted that his wife is still finding the time to “challenge” him over different things, but he does feel he “deserves it” most of the time. He added: “I think, to be honest, she challenges me more than I challenge her, but that’s probably because I deserve it.
“I earn it. I think our family and our friends would say that. It tends to be her, you know, pulling me up rather than the other way around.”

A-list celebrity Kim Kardashian is to testify in a Paris court on Tuesday, an eagerly awaited appearance nearly a decade after masked men robbed her at gunpoint of millions of dollars of jewellery during the French capital’s fashion week.
Ten suspects have been on trial since late April over the armed robbery in 2016, which saw jewellery worth some $10 million stolen from the reality TV star and influencer.
The trial has attracted huge media attention, with close to 500 reporters accredited, and the courthouse on Paris’s historic Ile de la Cite is expected to come under siege from fans hoping for a glimpse of the celebrity.

Kardashian is ready to “confront” her Paris attackers, her lawyers said last week.
“She is committed to attending in person,” French lawyers Leonor Hennerick and Jonathan Mattout told AFP last week, saying she would do so “with dignity and courage”.
She is due to take the stand at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT), and is expected to speak to the press afterwards.
On the night of October 2-3, 2016, Kardashian, then 35, was robbed while staying at an exclusive, discreet hotel in central Paris.
She was threatened with a gun to the head and tied up with her mouth taped.
Lawyers have not divulged what exactly Kardashian, who has been keeping abreast of developments at the trial, will say in her court appearance.
During what the French press has dubbed the “heist of the century”, masked men walked away with millions of dollars’ worth of jewels.

They included a diamond ring given to Kardashian by her then-husband, rapper Kanye West, and valued at 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million).
The theft was the most valuable to target a private individual in France in 20 years.
Those on trial are mainly men in their 60s and 70s with previous criminal records.
They have underworld nicknames like “Old Omar” and “Blue Eyes” that resemble those of old-school French bandits of 1960s and 1970s films noirs.
“They’re quite a team,” said investigator Michel Malecot.
“But they made some mistakes”, he said, notably by leaving DNA that allowed investigators to identify them.
‘Crying hysterically’

Sixty-eight-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, known as “Old Omar”, has admitted to tying up Kardashian but denies being the mastermind behind the robbery.
Another suspect in the dock, 71-year-old Yunice Abbas, later wrote a book about the heist.
In it he describes how his bag became caught in the wheel of his escape vehicle, a bicycle, causing him to fall off and have to scramble to shove the loot back in the bag.
Investigators said a man called Gary Madar, the brother of Kardashian’s driver in Paris, tipped the suspects off that Kardashian was “in French territory”.
This allegation has been ridiculed by Madar’s lawyer, who remarked that 350 million online followers were already aware of the star’s whereabouts.

The night of the robbery could have gone very differently had Kardashian joined her sister Kourtney and gone clubbing, an idea she entertained before deciding to stay in the hotel, the court heard last week.
Her designated driver, Michael Madar — whose company was billing the Kardashian/West couple up to 400,000 euros per year to provide security — had been working non-stop for 21 hours and asked a colleague to replace him for the trip to the night club.
The replacement, Mohammed Q., and a Kardashian bodyguard, Pascal D., rushed back to the hotel after Kardashian tried to call them and then failed to pick up her phone when they called back.
“I saw that the lift was on the first floor, where Kim was staying,” Pascal D. told the court.
When he found her, Kardashian “was in a terrible state. She was crying hysterically”, he told the court.
“I asked what had happened, and she said she’d been robbed.”

Kardashian, her lawyers said, “is genuinely grateful” for the way the French authorities have handled the investigation, showing her “the utmost respect and consideration”.
The US celebrity, sometimes described as being “famous for being famous”, became well known in the early 2000s through TV reality shows, before launching fashion brands and appearing in a number of films.
She is among the world’s most followed people on Instagram and X.
She has been named among the 100 most influential people by Time magazine, and among the most powerful women by Fortune magazine.
Gerard Depardieu has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two women on a 2021 film set. The French actor, 76, who had roles in over 200 movies and wasn’t present as the verdict was being read out, was convicted by the Paris Correctional Court of groping two women while filming Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters) in 2021.
His victims had behind-the-scenes roles on the film set. Both victims, a 34-year-old assistant producer referred to as Sarah and Amélie, 54, a set designer, were scared to speak out about the assault at the time and said they were intimidated by the actor.

“I was petrified”, one of the women, a set designer called Amelie, said. Amelie told the court the actor trapped her between his legs when she was trying to get past him in a corridor.
He then ran his hands over her body. Amelie said: “He terrified me – he looked like a madman.”
The two women said the star first used vulgar and explicit language towards them to abuse them before sexually assaulting them by grabbing them and running his hands over their bodies. The court heard he made crude sexual advances towards the victims.

Barrister Carine Durrieu Diebolt, who was representing the set designer, said Amelie was typical of victims who were ‘afraid to speak out’. Ms Durrieu Diebolt said: “These women are all technicians, doing minor jobs in the film industry.
“There’s a risk of reprisals. They are afraid of speaking, of being blacklisted, of being viewed as troublemakers in the workplace.”
Depardieu claimed he didn’t even know what sexual assault was. Depardieu had denied the allegations made against him and previously received support from the likes of French president Emmanuel Macron.
He was previously described as a ‘sex attacker’ who ‘preys on the weak’ by a female lawyer at his trial when he denied the charges against him.
It comes after French veteran film star Fanny Ardant spoke out in his defence. Barrister Durrieu Diebolt said: “He didn’t grope Fanny Ardant. He wouldn’t have done that to Fanny Ardant. Mr Depardieu is strong with the weak and weak with the strong.”
Depardieu was today believed to be filming with Ardant in Portugal.
Durrieu Diebolt called the case a ‘French Me Too, and said other women would have pressed charges against the controversial actor if it hadn’t been for the French statute of limitations, which prevents cases dating back more than a decade from being prosecuted.
She said: “If not for that, there would have been 20 women instead of two in court. Perhaps you consider that he’s a great actor and you like his films, and you don’t see him as a sexual attacker, but he is also a man of wealth.”
He has previously been accused publicly or via formal complaints of misconduct by over 20 women, but no other case has gone to court. Some were dropped due to lack of evidence.
As part of a separate case, the actor has been, since December, 16, 2020, indicted over allegations of rape and sexual assault filed in 2018. Depardieu was also accused by 13 women of sexually inappropriate behaviour in a report published by French investigative news website Médiapart in April 2023.
He will also be standing trial again later this year after being charged with raping actress Charlotte Arnould. She accused him, who is a friend of her parents, of raping her at his mansion in Paris.

Peter believed she had an affair with her dressage rider
According to the Mucky Mansion star, Peter believed she had an affair with her dressage rider. She shut down the claims and told Celebs Go Dating expert Paul: “I’ve never slept with him.
“I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married. But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, that’s it. I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough. It got to a point where I went well f**king divorce me. And I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids.
“That day, I’m at the airport, it’s all on Sky News, it wasn’t mutual at all. And then I redone a statement saying I don’t want to split with Pete, it’s Pete that’s splitting with me. Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it.”

At the time of their split, Peter claimed he was “absolutely gutted” after Katie took their kids back to the Maldives villa where they’d spent their 2005 honeymoon.
“Being apart from my kids is just breaking my heart,” he cried to the Daily Star at the time. “It’s destroying me – I’m absolutely gutted.”
And while speaking to Paul, former glamour model Katie revealed they manage the kids via lawyers. “I’ve never sat down with him, we probably would’ve sorted it out but we were kept apart,” she explained.
Katie said it’s ‘the most difficult thing’ to co-parent as she added: “But I realised you get to know what people are really like, and I’ve had it tough. But yeah, it is sad.”
Before the break-up, both parties confessed to having jealous rows, making no secret of their marital bickering on their reality TV show. However, few fans were convinced it was enough to derail them.
Meanwhile, Katie has previously admitted that the separation hadn’t been her choice. “Pete is the love of my life and my life. We have children together, and I am devastated and disappointed by his decision to separate and divorce me as I married him for life,” Katie told The Mirror at the time.
“This is not what I want, and the decision has been taken out of my hands. I will not comment further or do any interviews regarding the separation, but I will always love my Pete.”

More than 80 boxes filled with documents from Nazi Germany have been discovered in the basement of Argentina’s Supreme Court, decades after the crates were stashed in 1941.
The “discovery of global significance” came as workers were clearing out the area in preparation for transferring the archives to a newly-established museum, the court said in a statement on Monday.
The 83 boxes were sent by the German embassy in Japan’s capital Tokyo to Argentina in June 1941 on board the Japanese steamship “Nan-a-Maru”, the court statement said.
At the time, German diplomats in Argentina claimed they contained personal effects, but the shipment was held up by customs and became the subject of a probe by a special commission on “anti-Argentine activities”. A judge later ordered the seizure of the materials, and the matter ended up before the Supreme Court, which took possession of the crates.
About 84 years later, upon opening one of the boxes, the court identified material “intended to consolidate and propagate Adolf Hitler’s ideology in Argentina during the Second World War”.
The rest of the boxes were opened last Friday in the presence of the chief rabbi of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) and officials of the Buenos Aires Holocaust Museum.
“Given the historical relevance of the find and the potential crucial information it could contain to clarify events related to the Holocaust, the president of the Supreme Court, Horacio Rosatti, ordered an exhaustive survey of all the material found,” the court said.
“The main objective is to … determine if the material contains crucial information about the Holocaust and if any clues found can shed light on aspects still unknown, such as the route of Nazi money at a global level,” it added.

Holocaust Museum in Argentina joins the investigation
The court has transferred the boxes to a room equipped with extra security measures and invited the Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires to participate in their preservation and inventory.
Experts will examine them for any clues about still-unknown aspects of the Holocaust, such as international financing networks used by the Nazis.
Argentina remained neutral in World War II until 1944. The South American country declared war on Germany and Japan the following year. From 1933 to 1954, according to the Holocaust Museum, 40,000 Jews entered Argentina as they fled Nazi persecution in Europe.
But after World War II, Argentina, led by President Juan Peron, became a haven for several high-ranking Nazi officials.
They included Adolf Eichmann, who was considered a key architect of Hitler’s plan to exterminate Europe’s Jews. He was captured in Buenos Aires in 1960 and taken to Israel, where he was tried and executed.
