There is probably an argument for Wim Jansen featuring in the top five, but based on the fact that he only remained in the dugout for one season, there are other managers who are definitely more entitled to such lofty heights. That said, the historical significance of Jansen's title triumph during the 1997-98 season will never be forgotten. For nine years in a row, Rangers had possessed the Old Firm bragging rights as Celtic failed to dislodge them from the top of the table. However, after replacing Tommy Burns, Jansen would guide Celtic to the league title and prevent Rangers from taking their sustained success into double figures - which would have broken the all-time record in Scotland. The triumph would be particularly sweet given that the league crown was secured on the final day of the season with a 2-0 win over St Johnstone. As well as lifting the League Cup trophy, Jansen will always be held in high esteem for signing Henrik Larsson for just £650,000. The rest, as they say, is history.
