Muscat, a former Rangers player who contributed to the club’s treble-winning season in 2002–03, has garnered significant support due to his deep understanding of the club’s culture and his impressive managerial track record.
Currently managing Shanghai Port in the Chinese Super League, Muscat has achieved notable successes, including winning the 2024 CSL title, the 2022 J1 League with Yokohama F. Marinos, and multiple A-League championships with Melbourne Victory. His strategic acumen and ability to build competitive teams have made him a respected figure in Asian football.
Following Martin’s dismissal after a disappointing start to the season, Muscat’s odds to become the next Rangers manager have shortened significantly, surpassing former Everton boss Sean Dyche as the bookmakers’ favorite. � His familiarity with the club and its supporters, combined with his managerial experience, positions him as a strong contender for the role.
