The Australian tactician, currently in charge of Shanghai Port, has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Russell Martin at Ibrox after an extensive search for the right successor. Talks between the club and Muscat’s representatives are understood to be progressing positively, with both parties keen to reach an agreement in the coming days.
Muscat, who previously managed Yokohama F. Marinos and Melbourne Victory, is well known for his attacking brand of football and strong leadership qualities. He also shares close tactical similarities with former Rangers boss Ange Postecoglou, having worked alongside him during his coaching career.
Rangers are confident that Muscat’s experience and understanding of the club’s culture—stemming from his successful playing spell at Ibrox—make him the ideal figure to lead the team forward.
An official announcement is expected once final contractual details are agreed and compensation matters with Shanghai Port are resolve.
