The Record Sport columnist and former Ibrox captain played alongside Muscat and runs the rule over the two leading candidates.
So it looks like we’re down to a straight shootout between Philippe Clement and Kevin Muscat to become the 19th man to manage Rangers.
But for the time being, I’d urge everybody to get behind the new man, whoever it’s going to be, and make sure we’re all pushing together to get the club going in the right direction. I was right behind Mick, just as I was with Gio van Bronckhorst and Steven Gerrard before him and I hope the fans will be the same with Kev or Philippe. Whoever it is pulling on that club blazer, I’m desperate for them to do well.
But the new man has to get it right, of that there’s no doubt. Obviously, of the two contenders, I know Musscy better having played alongside him during his 12-month stay in Glasgow. There’s a false impression about Kev floating around. I’ve heard folk say he’s inexperienced but he’s been managing for more than a decade now and has worked in three different countries.
Of course, sometimes he might have went over the top a bit, even on the training pitch. But I had no problem with that and neither did any of the guys I played with. At that time, the squad Alex McLeish had wasn’t just one that could play good football. We could all handle ourselves too and we all believed that to win, you had to train like you played on a daily basis.
