Breaking News: Rangers Owners hold final talks with Clement and Muscat After quick F.A demand….

CEO James Bisgrove and chairman John Bennett held extensive interviews with various candidates in London this week to find Michael Beale’s successor after sacking the 43-year-old almost two weeks ago.

Sky Sports News understands those discussions will continue this weekend before a final decision is presented to the wider Rangers board to sign off on an appointment.

Ex-Club Brugge, Genk and Monaco boss Clement won three consecutive Belgian Pro League titles prior to a short spell at Monaco and is now a free agent – but has also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Muscat – who won a domestic treble as a player at Ibrox in 2003 – has also impressed as a manager, winning the A-League title when in charge of Melbourne Victory and claiming the J-League crown at current club Yokohama F. Marinos.

Rangers have been whittling down an extensive shortlist that has been in place for months, as part of the club’s succession planning process.

While it is thought Clement or Muscat could be in the dugout for the visit of Hibernian on October 21, Sky Sports News understands no specific timescale has been put on naming a new boss, with the club focusing on making the correct long-term appointment.
