"Rangers are close to agreeing a deal to secure Kevin Muscat as their new head coach with personal terms and details still to be finalised. The former Ibrox defender is currently in charge of Chinese league leaders Shanghai Port, who have four games left in their season. One of the key issues holding up an announcement is Shanghai's match against Quingdao Hainiu, which takes place at 11:00 BST on Friday."
"Rangers are also working to secure Muscat's backroom team and tie up all the relevant paperwork needed for the Australian to coach in Scotland. Youth coach Stevie Smith will take charge of the side for Saturday's league match against Dundee United at Ibrox, but it is yet unclear who will be in the dug-out for the Europa League game away Brann Bergen on Thursday."
Kevin Muscat is close to becoming Rangers head coach subject to finalising personal terms and paperwork. Muscat currently manages Chinese league leaders Shanghai Port, who have four games remaining. A Shanghai Port match against Quingdao Hainiu at 11:00 BST on Friday is a key factor delaying a formal announcement. Rangers are working to secure Muscat's backroom team and complete required coaching paperwork for Scotland. Youth coach Stevie Smith will manage Saturday's Premiership match against Dundee United, while the dug-out for the Europa League trip to Brann Bergen remains undecided. Steven Gerrard and Danny Rohl withdrew from consideration. Rangers sacked Russell Martin after 17 games and sit eighth in the Scottish Premiership, nine points behind Celtic and two more adrift of leaders Heart of Midlothian, having also failed to qualify for the Champions League and lost both Europa League matches so far.
