Sky Sports News understands Rangers will appoint either Philippe Clement or Kevin Muscat as their new manager within the next 24 hours.
Following extensive interviews with several candidates this week, CEO James Bisgrove and chairman John Bennett have been holding final talks with the two candidates and are closing in on a preferred candidate. Either Clement or Muscat will replace Michael Beale just two weeks after the 43-year-old was sacked following a third league loss in seven games as Aberdeen won 3-1 at Ibrox.
Yes, there was a reaction against St Mirren but there is now a two-week break and Rangers need to get someone as soon as possible to give them time to work with the players. 'Steven Davis is not going to be the manager of the football club, but Rangers need to find someone within that environment where if the next manager comes in and they're clearing out, it's not a whole clearout again and there is nobody left at the club who can just step into a role.
