"Rangers' move to make Kevin Muscat the club's next head coach has fallen through. Muscat is in charge of Chinese side Shanghai Port, who are still in contention for the Super League title in a race which could run into November or December. The two parties have been in advanced discussions to bring the former Ibrox player to Glasgow, but the potential delayed start to his tenure made the deal unworkable for both parties."
"Russell Martin was removed from his post on 5 October after just 123 days in charge after a dreadful start to the campaign. Rangers are currently sixth in the Scottish Premiership with just two wins from eight games, and failed to qualify for the Champions League under Martin. Rangers are currently being managed by interim head coach Steven Smith, who has stepped up from the club's academy."
Rangers' plan to appoint Kevin Muscat as head coach collapsed because Muscat remains committed to Shanghai Port, who are still contesting the Chinese Super League title which may extend into late autumn. Steven Gerrard declined a return to the club and Danny Rohl withdrew from consideration. The club have held advanced talks with multiple candidates and expect to make an appointment soon. Russell Martin was sacked on 5 October after 123 days following a poor start. Rangers sit sixth in the Scottish Premiership with two wins from eight and are currently led by interim coach Steven Smith.
