The search appears to be narrowing with Kevin Muscat and Philippe Clement leading the race to replace Michael Beale.
Rangers hero Ally McCoist reckons axed Birmingham City boss John Eustace will land an interview for the Ibrox hot seat.
A section of Birmingham fans were left unhappy over the club's treatment of Eustace who leaves the team in sixth place following back-to-back wins with Wayne Rooney expected to replace the former Light Blues midfielder in the St Andrew's dugout. With Rangers still searching for a successor to Michael Beale with Steven Davis in interim charge of the club, Eustace has emerged as a favourite with the bookmakers.
Kevin Muscat and Philippe Clement appear to be the leading candidates for the hot seat, but McCoist reckons Ibrox chief executive James Bisgrove and the board could look to hold talks with Eustace after his brutal Birmingham sacking as they look to appoint Beale's successor. He also confessed he was confused that former Chelsea and Everton boss Frank Lampard did not get a look-in with Graeme Souness playing a role in the next boss hunt.
Speaking on the talkSPORT Breakfast Show, McCoist was put on the spot over Eustace landing the Rangers job. He said: "Yeah, I think he is in the running. I think he will get an interview." He then attempted to move the conversation on: "I didn't realise Graeme Souness was involved in the interviews..."
He was then cut off to ask about Lampard - who McCoist had thrown his weight behind as a potential next boss. Confused McCoist responded: "I don't know. I promise you that I don't."
