Kevin Muscat’s appointment at Rangers has been described as “managerial history in the making” by veteran journalist Hugh Keevins, who believes the club’s recruitment process marks a new era at Ibrox.
According to Keevins, Rangers’ search for their new boss was unlike any in the club’s modern history — a carefully calculated and data-driven operation that ultimately led to the selection of Muscat, a figure who embodies both the traditional Rangers mentality and a forward-thinking football philosophy.
Speaking on Clyde 1 Superscoreboard, Keevins said the decision to pursue Muscat was the result of “the most thorough and analytical process Rangers have ever undertaken”. He added that the club’s hierarchy went beyond reputation and emotion, instead focusing on tactical identity, leadership style, and long-term sustainability.
Muscat, who follows in the footsteps of former teammate Ange Postecoglou in bringing his attacking brand of football from Japan, has impressed early observers with his professionalism and vision. Keevins believes his arrival signals a new chapter at Ibrox — one rooted in modern methodology and global scouting.
“This isn’t just another managerial appointment,” Keevins noted. “It’s a statement that Rangers are ready to evolve — and Kevin Muscat is the man trusted to lead that transformation.”
Muscat’s tenure will begin under high expectations, but Keevins insists that the manner of his selection should give supporters confidence that Rangers are finally embracing a long-term footballing identity.
