Next Rangers Manager Odds: Muscat Close To Replacing Martin At Ibrox

Kevin Muscat is close to ending a dark period in Rangers' recent history by becoming the latest manager at Ibrox.
Russell Martin was sacked after just 17 games in charge of the Glasgow giants, who won just one of their seven Scottish Premiership matches while he was at the helm.
Steven Gerrard was the favourite on betting sites to make a dramatic return to the club, but he withdrew his interest.
Days after Gerrard decided against a return to Ibrox, Danny Rohl ruled himself out of the running.
Steven Smith has been placed in interim charge while Muscat agrees personal terms and a departure date from Shanghai Port.
On Saturday, the Ibrox club host Dundee United - 13 points behind early leaders Hearts and 11 behind their Old Firm rivals Celtic.
Muscat Close To Landing Gers Job
Muscat won the Treble during his time at Rangers and the club's board hope he can bring that kind of success to Ibrox.
The Australian has had plenty of success as a manager, although all of his triumphs have come across the other side of the world.
Muscat has won league titles in Australia with Melbourne Victory, Japan with Yokohama F. Marinos and China with his current club Shanghai Port.
Port are top of the Chinese Super League with four games remaining, so more silverware is close at hand.

Gerrard Interest Cools
It's been a season of disappointing blows for Rangers fans and just when they thought their Messiah was returning to the club, Gerrard decided to walk away.
That suggests the club's turmoil behind the scenes is worse than people think.
After leading the market a few days ago, Gerrard can be backed at 7/2 for an Ibrox return, but those odds could lengthen in the coming days.
The former Aston Villa manager might decide to wait for a better job at a club with more stability.
Solskjaer Seeks New Challenge
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is available after being sacked by Turkish side Besiktas following their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Solskjaer may decide to take a break before accepting his next role and he might give Rangers a wide berth.
It would be in the Norwegian's best interest to select a job where he is confident he can do well.
Right now, Rangers might not be the perfect choice, but Solskjaer is 12/1 for the Ibrox vacancy on betting apps.

Rohl Remains In The Mix
Despite reportedly walking away from negotiations, Rohl remains in the conversation to be Rangers' next manager.
The former Sheffield Wednesday boss has gone from favourite a couple of days ago to 25/1 outsider on football betting sites after holding talks with the club.
Like Gerrard, he seems prepared to wait for a more attractive job offer to tempt him back to management.
Whoever takes over at Ibrox, they will need a strong personality and fans might not see that in Rohl.
Dyche Among Outsiders For Vacancy
If Rangers want a no-nonsense manager to try to turn their fortunes around, they should call former Burnley and Everton manager Sean Dyche.
Dyche (33/1) is used to working under difficult conditions so Rangers might appeal, although he is also being linked with Nottingham Forest if the City Ground club decide to sack ex-Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.
Scotland boss Steve Clarke (33/1) has just overseen his team guarantee at least a play-off spot in the World Cup Qualifiers, but is now being linked with the Rangers job.
Elsewhere, Neil McCann, Gary O'Neil and Michael Carrick are all 33/1 to replace Martin.
