Turning into quite the saga, Rangers have now reportedly launched a move to sign another fresh managerial candidate as they look to find their replacement for Russell Martin.
Latest on Rangers' manager search
It's been a hectic few days for those at Ibrox, who have gone from Steven Gerrard all the way back to the drawing board. By this stage of the international break, the Gers would have been hoping to have their new manager signed and sealed, but their top candidate quickly spoiled those plans. With their next game against Dundee United on the horizon, Rangers are set to be manager-less.
That's not to say work isn't being done in pursuit of certain candidates, however, and Kevin Muscat is one of the favourites. The 52-year-old, who has won everywhere he's been, is currently in charge of Shanghai Port but could ditch the Chinese club in favour of Rangers when the Chinese Super League campaign concludes in mid-November.

Whether the 49ers deem Muscat worth the wait remains to be seen. Of course, if the answer is a resounding no, then their attention could turn back towards the likes of Danny Rohl.
The 36-year-old is the most inexperienced name on the list, but remains admired by many for the promise that he has after a successful spell in the chaos surrounding Sheffield Wednesday.
So much so that current Owls star Barry Bannan recently told reporters when asked about his former manager: "If he’s appointed, I definitely think he’ll go in there and get results right away. For me, he’s up there with the very best I’ve worked with during my career."
Once again though, it's not an appointment that would come without question marks and if the 49ers really want to avoid more controversy, then they should turn towards a former Premier League manager.
Rangers launch Ole Gunnar Solskjaer move
As reported by Fotboll Direkt and relayed by Sports Witness, Rangers have now launched their move for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is still a free agent after leaving Besiktas in August. The two-time Eliteserien title winner and former Manchester United boss has reportedly received contact from the Gers and now has a decision to make.
Whilst some may look back on his time at Old Trafford as a failure, Solskjaer is still a manager who showed plenty of promise as a winner at Molde and when asked to steady the ship at United. Whether he'd do the same at Ibrox is something that the 49ers may find out.
Many have had their say about what Solskjaer should do next as a result, including ex-Man United player Nicky Butt, who advised him not to take the Old Trafford job if INEOS sack Ruben Amorim.
"The hard thing for Ole would be, if you come back the second time - it could ruin him.
"It won't because of his legacy at the football club, but you could bring prime Sir Alex or Jose in at the minute and they wouldn't be able to do anything with that squad. So for me, I hope it wouldn't happen."
After being sacked by Besiktas, the next stage of the 52-year-old's manager career could be his most important one yet. Fail and he may fall into the abyss of free agent managers. Succeed at Ibrox, however, and he could be a legend.
