Kevin Muscat has emerged as a leading contender to become the next Rangers manager, with reports from multiple outlets suggesting he has moved up the Ibrox shortlist. The former Rangers defender, who currently manages Shanghai Port in China, is said to be highly regarded by the clubās hierarchy for his tactical acumen and winning mentality.
Muscat, 52, has enjoyed success across several leagues, notably winning domestic titles in Australia and Japan, where he succeeded Ange Postecoglou at Yokohama F. Marinos. His teams are known for their aggressive pressing and attacking style ā traits that align closely with what Rangersā board wants as they seek to rebuild confidence and consistency after a difficult start to the season.
Sources close to the negotiations claim Muscat is open to returning to Glasgow, where he previously played during the late 1990s. However, talks remain at an advanced but unofficial stage, with Danny Rƶhl also still in the frame. Rangers are expected to make a final decision soon as the club looks to stabilise its campaign and restore momentum in both domestic and European competitions. An announcement could follow within the coming days if terms are agreed.
