Kevin Muscat is poised to become Rangers' head coach, with interim manager Steven Smith leading the team against Dundee United.
Kevin Muscat is “probably” the type of character Rangers need, says interim manager Steven Smith. Muscat, currently managing Shanghai Port, is remembered for his playing days at Rangers during the 2002-2003 season, where he contributed to a treble-winning campaign under Alex McLeish. Smith, who was a young player at the time, recalls Muscat as a pleasant figure during their brief encounters.
As Rangers await the finalisation of Muscat’s deal, Smith will lead the team in their upcoming fixture against Dundee United. Smith, who has been guiding the team through training, aims to uplift the squad’s morale and believes a positive result could turn their fortunes around.
The gist
- Kevin Muscat is close to becoming Rangers’ head coach.
- Muscat played for Rangers in the 2002-2003 season.
- Interim manager Steven Smith will lead the team against Dundee United.
- Smith aims to boost team morale with simplified training sessions.
- Rangers have secured only eight points from seven Premiership games.
What it means
The appointment of Kevin Muscat could signal a new direction for Rangers, as the club seeks to improve its standing in the Premiership. With Smith temporarily at the helm, the focus remains on stabilising the team and securing crucial points.
Muscat’s return to Ibrox, this time as head coach, brings a familiar face with a fresh perspective, potentially revitalising the squad and meeting the high expectations of Rangers’ supporters.
