Kevin Muscat is in โadvanced contract talks with Rangers โขowners as he edges closer to becoming the clubS next manager.The former โIbroxโข player and current Yokohama F. Marinos boss โis believed โto be the leading candidate to replace Philippe Clement, โwho departed for Monaco โฃearlierโ this week.
theโ potential appointment of Muscat, previously โฃidentified by Clement’s predecessor as an โidealโ right-hand man, โคcouldโ see current interim manager Steven โDavis remain in a temporary role before transitioning to an assistant position. Sources indicate an proclamation regarding Muscat’s arrival could come before Friday,despite Davis continuing to formulate his own backroom plans.
Yesterday, it was revealed that Neil โMcCann hadโค been previously highlighted by Muscat as a potential assistant โduring theโข search that ultimately led to Clement’s appointment in October 2023. Davisโ has been activelyโค pursuing additions to his potentialโ staff, โฃincluding a โขcoachingโ role for โคRangers Hall of famer Steven davis and a possible position for another formerโฃ Rangers captain, Lee Wallace.
Davisโ currently serves on the coaching staff of โthe Northern Ireland โฃnational team under Michael O’Neill. He had two playing spells with Rangers and briefly held the caretaker โmanager position followingโค Michael Beale’s โdismissal. The 36-year-old โDavis has been progressing with his own plans for the team, even as negotiations with Muscatโข advance.
