Rangers are pursuing a new manager following the sacking of Michael Beale, after a torrid start to the season and struggling to keep pace with Celtic.

According to online bookies BetVictor, former Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea manager Graham Potter has emerged as an early frontrunner with odds at 3/1 to takeover. Potter has been without a club since his dismissal from the Blues last season.

Former Rangers defender Kevin Muscat sits just behind Potter with odds at 4/1. Muscat currently manages J1 league side Yokohama F. Marinos, having previously enjoyed a prior stint at Sint-Truidense in the Belgian Pro League.
