Rangers are in advanced talks with Kevin Muscat and his club Shanghai Port as they search for a new head coach. Muscat, a 52-year-old Australian, is the leading candidate following Russell Martin's departure. His current team leads the Chinese league by two points, with four matches remaining, the last scheduled for November 22. If compensation and personal terms are agreed upon, Muscat could join Rangers after the Chinese season ends. In the interim, Neil McCann is considered as a potential temporary coach, having played alongside Muscat at Rangers during their 2002/03 treble-winning season. Muscat's coaching experience in Australia, Japan, and China has impressed Rangers' management, with former teammate Mark Bosnich endorsing him as an adaptable and ambitious choice.
