"Rangers are continuing discussions with managerial candidates despite Kevin Muscat emerging as the favourite to take over from Russell Martin. Muscat played for the club in the early 2000s and is currently in charge of Chinese side Shanghai Port. It is understood discussions have taken place with the 52-year-old Australian, with some at Ibrox keen on his appointment after Steven Gerrard ruled himself out of the running."
"Having been appointed following Rangers' takeover by a US-led consortium in the summer, Martin lasted just 123 days in charge following a calamitous four-month stint. Rangers are eighth in the Scottish Premiership with just one win in six games. They were dumped out of Champions League qualifying 9-1 on aggregate by Club Brugge and have lost their opening two Europa League matches."
Rangers continue discussions with managerial candidates while Kevin Muscat has emerged as the favourite to replace Russell Martin. Muscat played for Rangers in the early 2000s and currently manages Shanghai Port in China. Talks have taken place with the 52-year-old Australian, and some at Ibrox favor his appointment after Steven Gerrard ruled himself out. Any agreement would likely see Muscat join only after the Chinese season ends on 22 November, with former midfielder Neil McCann reportedly considered as interim boss. The club maintains that no deal is done and that talks with other targets remain ongoing. Muscat has won league titles in Australia, Japan and China and previously won a domestic treble with Rangers in 2002-03.
