Rangers FC's search for a new head coach has seen a key candidate, Danny Rohl, withdraw from the running, despite having held positive discussions with the club hierarchy last week. Sky Sports News reports that Kevin Muscat, the current manager of Chinese club Shanghai Port and a former Rangers player, has emerged as the frontrunner for the job. Muscat is currently leading a title race in China, which could necessitate an interim manager at Ibrox if he is appointed before his season concludes on November 22. The club has been searching for a replacement since sacking Russell Martin on October 5, and while Muscat is favored, other names like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have also been mentioned. Chairman Andrew Cavenagh and vice-chairman Paraag Marathe are leading the discussions, which have also involved ruling out candidates such as Graham Potter and Gary O'Neil.
