"I don't know Kevin that well, but I came across him a few times when I was at Liverpool. He came in to training when I was manager at Liverpool and I spent some time with him there. And then, of course, when we travelled over to Australia with Liverpool and met him and Ange when I was there. So yeah, as I said, I don't know him that well, but he's done a really good job in the teams"
"that he's been at in Asia and if he's to be the new manager coming in, it's another new challenge, and as I said, for us, we'll be ready for it."
"I think every team that changes manager, you accept and take on the challenge of new ideas and that freshness that they may bring,"
Kevin Muscat, 52, is close to agreeing a deal to become Rangers head coach, with personal terms and details still to be finalised. Muscat manages Shanghai Port, who are closing in on back-to-back Chinese Super League titles, and previously won leagues with Melbourne Victory and Yokohama F. Marinos. Former Rangers head coach Russell Martin was dismissed after 123 days following a 1-1 Premiership draw and required a police escort after his final match. Brendan Rodgers welcomes the fresh ideas a managerial change can bring and notes limited personal familiarity with Muscat but recalls previous encounters and a 6-4 defeat by Yokohama in July 2023. Celtic will prepare for the tactical challenges posed by a potential new Rangers manager.
