Rangers Football Club is poised to announce the appointment of either Kevin Muscat or Philippe Clement as the new manager this Sunday, October 15, ahead of the new boss meeting the squad at Auchenhowie for the first time on Monday, October 16. This revelation comes from a report by Sky Sports.

Rangers’ CEO, James Bisgrove, and Chairman, John Bennett, are said to have conducted extensive interviews with several candidates throughout the week, with Muscat and Clement emerging as the final contenders.
