Kevin Muscat has the balls to lead Rangers but board must swerve any bluffing during boss crunch meeting – Kenny Miller

When Rangers appointed Gio van Bronckhorst as manager he was the guy everyone wanted. When they gave Michael Beale the job as gaffer, he was fans’ first-choice.

But right now? There is NO obvious pick for the Ibrox board and that’s why this is uncharted territory for CEO James Bisgrove and chairman John Bennett. Before, they never had to veer off a certain path when getting Gio and Michael. This time, it’s different. It seems that it’s been whittled down to two now, Philippe Clement and Kevin Muscat.

We’ll deep dive into their history, check their style of play, their formation, what they’ve won. But you know what? None of it matters. Because Rangers don’t just need a new manager. They need a personality. And the team he inherits needs a whole new identity as well. That’s a big job for anyone.

I know Muzzy, I played with him for a year at Wolves. And he’s got a bit about him, there’s no doubt about that. He’s got balls and he’s got character.

Could he handle life as Rangers manager? I think he could. At least he’s been at the club before, albeit only for a year two decades ago. But it will still be totally different to anywhere he’s managed before.

Glasgow is pretty unique. And when the pressure comes on you, it’s about how you react. Irrespective of where Muscat or Clement have been before, it will be nothing compared to what it’s like at Ibrox.

In Australia, there’s no pressure. In Japan, Muscat is currently at the biggest club. In terms of Clement, with the greatest respect, all his success has been in Belgium.

It’s in Europe and he won titles with Genk and Club Brugge. You can’t take that away from him. When Muzzy went to Belgium, he struggled. He only had two wins in 15 games with Sint-Truiden and only lasted four
