From 4 Lads:
"Kevin Muscat - Next 48hrs are huge and Muscat is now in a strong position to become the next Rangers Manager, this has moved very quickly.
Looks like Neil McCann will be on his coaching staff and could take temporary charge for Saturday and thereafter (as already covered on here, spot on) whilst Muscat finishes the season in China
This is no project for Muscat, he's here to win.
This is NOT a done deal, anything can happen so caution it all until it's formal, but it's heading that way very quickly."
14 Oct 2025 12:54:56
I did say but was slaughtered.
14 Oct 2025 12:56:54
Would like muscat but not after there season it should be now or never, we have a very important games and not neil mccann jumping about sidelines. this board are going to be under some scrutiny and rightfully so as there start has been nothing short of embarrassing.
14 Oct 2025 12:57:01
He has 3 game then the Asian champions league then 1 more league game, I'd hope that he wins his next 3 league games wins the title then comes over before thenend of the season.
14 Oct 2025 13:03:40
Just saw this online Lmac. It does make sense to me. Neil McCann taking charge until Muscat can start.
14 Oct 2025 13:05:28
Good news.
14 Oct 2025 13:12:17
I think Muscat has the personality needed to make an impact on the squad. I also think his high intensity/ high energy attacking style is exactly what we need right now. Wouldn't be averse to this at all.
14 Oct 2025 13:15:51
I'm happy with this, could be a great long term manager for us. Here is hoping.
14 Oct 2025 13:30:20
Great to see 4 lads confirm yesterdays posts.
14 Oct 2025 13:34:43
Where has that flight landing at 11:03 with Rydstrom on it went to?
14 Oct 2025 13:35:08
Though links to Thelwell or Stewart the danger here, they need someone that likes them, it's a big World but finding someone who likes them and doesn't know they are impostors is very difficult.
Muscat is a tough guy was a beast of a player who could possibly even scare big Dunc, if players ever shirk they are probably finished. I think he would find someone just like him to get some dig in midfield as there is none.
14 Oct 2025 13:35:11
LMac, if this is true you'll have one happy Bear??.
14 Oct 2025 13:41:44
Just read this ?.
14 Oct 2025 14:10:52
Interesting
Wonder if this will come to fruition
If it does
What's everyone's thoughts.
14 Oct 2025 14:11:37
I'm believing feck all from now on till it's done.
14 Oct 2025 14:32:45
They were saying on clyde ssb last night that he could actually win the title this weekend obviously it's dependent on other results but there may be a chance he could come in before the end of the chinese season.
14 Oct 2025 14:33:00
Good stuff, I stuck £50 on Muscat at 2/ 1, would be happy with him.
14 Oct 2025 14:34:15
I actually think this would be a disaster.
I would have every faith in McCann losing in cup semi final and against my Brann side.
I loved him as a player but I just don't see the ability as a manager.
14 Oct 2025 14:46:50
I've wanted McInnes since 2015. That's not changed but that boat has now sailed and won't return.
I've not been over excited by any candidate but we're a bin fire just now and we're not as attractive to many Managers as most think.
My concern is his teams concede a lot, granted they score a lot as well. He by my understanding plays a high tempo attacking brand of football. I've heard that before.
If he's appointed I'll back him home and away when I can make the games and hope we improve.
There is no easy, overnight fix here and patience is something we as a fan base are short of.
Keep the faith ?⚪️?.
14 Oct 2025 14:48:28
Muscat is the best candidate out of all who have been linked ??.
14 Oct 2025 14:51:42
Stupid post from someone saying now or never that's not the way it works - he should finish his season with his club and we should wait - imagine we had 3 games left to win league and our manager left - I'm happy to wait and McCann will do a good job while we wait - if it is muscat of course which I think would be good as he is a winner won leagues played for us or course and had some dog as a player - he knows what it's about.
14 Oct 2025 14:56:56
Reading between the lines and if the rumours are credible it would be on an interim basis.
Why would it be a disaster Asa?
14 Oct 2025 14:59:48
Whoever, temporary or full time, needs to get defenders defending and attackers attacking quickly, instead of the boring dangerous tactics that we've seen so far this season, we need points quickly!
14 Oct 2025 15:09:15
It will be a disaster Asa. McCann isn't a good coach I think 99% of us would agree on that.
It's really in the players hands now they just have to go out and win the games on their own.
Not thrilled waiting for Muscat and not exactly thrilled with Muscat just feels like we are banking on him being Ange.
14 Oct 2025 15:18:42
Superally it's not stupid to say at all. If he's there until the end of the league season that's 22nd of November they also have a game on the 25th in the AFC how long do we wait? We could have 5 games 0 wins in Europe and out the cup before he plays his last game with Shanghai Port.
"You can say how would we feel" all you like but that's football it's cutthroat and I couldn't care what another club fans feel or think.
14 Oct 2025 15:19:28
Copland I think that because I do not think McCann is an adequate option.
I am ambivalent with Muscat, there are a lot of good things getting said about him but I can confess to knowing very little about him.
What I would say is I believe appointing Muscat would be the short term mentality gaining the upper hand over the long term strategy.
14 Oct 2025 15:23:27
Asathor, McCann is a better manager than Ferguson mate, I wasn't fussy on Muscat, just worried about Europe under him, could maybe adapt for that football, could work in our league, if it is him let's all get behind him, and McCann for the Utd turn Ibrox up.
14 Oct 2025 15:34:32
For those who Are not for McCann or Muscat. What's the alternative?
Genuine question?
14 Oct 2025 15:46:45
Super Ally, I remember souness done it and we three or four games away from a title. Ended up a shootout between us and the sheep big Hately scored twice a cracking heeder and we had terry hurlock come on at right back. So aye I can imagine it mate lol.
14 Oct 2025 15:55:35
To be fair on McCann he speaks more sense on tv than most of them, will he be good as the main man for a few weeks I don't know but he knows most the squad and wouldn't bet against him getting results for a few games until Muscat comes in if that's the way it's going.
14 Oct 2025 15:59:16
McCann managed a couple teams CalB.
14 Oct 2025 16:17:02
I for one certainly do not agree with that CalB as Neil McCann is a great coach and talks a lot of sense.
I also do not get the post Muscat shoukld come now or never when he's only 4 games away from winning and finishing his league, i know myself and most Rangers fans did not like it when Gerrard left us mid season to go to Villa so why would it be acceptable for Muscat to do the same. I think Muscat would be a great appointment, one of my top picks for sure and think he will do well at Rangers so i would be behind this or Danny Rohl.
14 Oct 2025 16:38:48
It wouldn't just be McCann, couple of others minimum.
14 Oct 2025 16:40:23
My star I am aware I just don't think he's a good coach, hence why he prefers talking about football than coaching football.
14 Oct 2025 16:41:34
McCann always talks about players expressing themselves, if it's him for another 6/ 7 weeks let's see it.
14 Oct 2025 17:00:42
People worried about Muscat staying to finish a league title he could win in a few games a can't really get, a would be more worried that he would leave them to be honest.
14 Oct 2025 17:05:30
Can we stop saying percentages of who likes or dislikes. Honest to goodness. You have no idea whow many like or dislike McCann or muscat. We have no idea if he will be a success or not.
Have an opinion but at least try to back it up with some form of actual substance and fact.
14 Oct 2025 17:45:40
I'll be very pleased.
14 Oct 2025 18:03:57
Let's be honest if Muscat left his team with a few games to go, that to me would prove him to be a 'rat' like character who could if done well easily drop us as quick. Proves his character if he stays till the seasons over.
14 Oct 2025 18:04:41
Can't believe John, you're claiming this as a win. I heard all about this a couple days ago myself. All I did was read social media like half the folk on here do that claim to know what's going on.
I'll post something later that I read, and then if it happens I'll claim to know all about it from my source.
That's how it works right?
14 Oct 2025 19:38:30
No way McCann is a disaster, Fergie needed him and he is highly regarded by many, he will need help and maybe a tough guy with him, let's keep guessing anyway it's all anyone on here can do, nobody knows anything.
Bookies about to close it again maybe this time they know something.
Lee McF aye mate that's how it goes here.
14 Oct 2025 19:49:19
McCann is that great a coach he is a commentator instead of a coach ?.
14 Oct 2025 19:19:44
Franco Muscat ended almost young star aussie in Australia before he retired he's a "rat" for that alone nevermind leaving a club.
14 Oct 2025 19:24:27
We are talking about a man who his own country men can't even look at him half the time for the stuff he did on the pitch. but ohh no he can't leave a team otherwise he's a "rat" give me a break.
14 Oct 2025 20:58:00
Game was far better then CalB, yes he was hard as nails, many players like that, better times.
14 Oct 2025 20:58:40
Scared too breath on a player now.
14 Oct 2025 21:00:21
Maybe some don't like it, you're sounding that way CalB, I loved the passion and the crutches tackles.
14 Oct 2025 21:10:05
Might get a 99% vote if you only include those in the hoose incl the cat 50/ 50 might be a fair vote on McCann but he's under instruction from someone else, and these days comms are pretty good.
By the way what percentage of his own countrymen hate him, I messaged 2 and they like him. that's 100% the now for. He's managing by the way no playing!
14 Oct 2025 21:24:15
Lot's of great coaches commentating always have been, I think they like an expert opinion on the telly etc.
I won't do a list it would be too big.
14 Oct 2025 22:33:35
My star you can do hard tackles but you don't break someones knee because they are rinsing you time after time then berate them after the game. sore loser and he's a bit of a w@nk.
14 Oct 2025 23:14:05
Seem to remember some big posters here saying gerrard deal qas done and 5 year contract look how that turned out.
Believe it when its announced.
15 Oct 2025 00:03:18
Blue tinted specs are real that's for sure, McCann great coach but the other 10 names we've been liked with over the summer and now arent? Crazy.
Lets see where we are end of November.
15 Oct 2025 00:27:30
CalB, Football it a contact sport but missing the contact now, I know nothing what you're talking about, but i loved a meaty challenge, can barley touch a player now without then hitting the deck like a big blouse.
15 Oct 2025 00:30:16
CalB, Just back the man with a better record in Asia and Australia than the man that won 5 out 6 trophies for them.
15 Oct 2025 01:01:23
Do realise manager looks for this now, but another good bit took away from the game.
15 Oct 2025 03:06:55
Mystar hope you keep that mentality for the next Rangers player to take a "meaty challenge" and never recover ?
Odd opinion to celebrate someone's career being ended.
15 Oct 2025 07:29:59
CalB, why add that wrecking a player? because I'm telling you that is another part ruined out the game, I am not talking about any players career being ended, does that make your point better like?
15 Oct 2025 07:34:50
You really haven't got a clue about me CalB, because I'm saying the game has been getting spoiled in recent years, age are you? maybe you know nothing different.
