Next Rangers manager candidates win rates ranked as Muscat, Clement and Jansen offer compelling cases

Winning isn't everything? That's a notion which will never fly at Rangers as the hunt for a third permanent manager in less than two years proves.

Michael Beale exited stage left after his big talk proved to be balderdash as fed-up punters could count complete 90-minute displays in one hand during an ill-fated 10-month reign. His predecessor Gio Van Bronckhorst proved incapable of keeping pace with Ange Postecoglou in the Scottish Premiership and a run to the Europa League final, a Scottish Cup win and securing Champions League wasn't enough to save his job.

Celtic's dominance is entering a second decade and they sit seven points up on their rivals already amid a pursuit of a 12th league title in 13 seasons and direct entry to the revamped Champions League and the turbo-charged riches which eight guaranteed games will bring. Rangers need to get this appointment right and London is calling for final candidates who will make their case in the Big Smoke.

Past achievements aren't a guarantee, however, they are a strong indicator of what the future offers. Record Sport crunches the numbers on the runners and riders and what they offer if they win the race to succeed Beale and breathe new life into a toiling season.

The former Rangers star is a unique candidate as his career is inextricably tied to Postecoglou. But backers of the man known for his uncompromising playing style would strongly rail against suggestions he is succeeding by merely following the rules of Angeball. He has a better win rate at both Melbourne and Yokohama after succeeding the man who has guided a toiling Tottenham team to the top of the English Premier League.

The knock on Muscat is he struggled when stepping out on his own with Belgian side
