Rangers continue negotiations to secure new head coach as former Ibrox striker puts the boot into how the search has been conducted...

Rangers have still to agree final details on a seven-figure compensation package for Shanghai Port head coach Kevin Muscat - who has a contract with the Chinese champions until December 2026. (Daily Record)

The earliest Shanghai Port can secure a second successive title under Kevin Muscat is 31 October, which could mean the Australian is in charge of Rangers for the Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic on 2 November. (Rangers Review)

Kevin Muscat is expected to have funds available for signings in January, with minutes from a recent meeting of the Rangers' fan advisory board saying "managerial changes have a financial impact but were not currently expected to materially affect future budgets". (Glasgow Times)

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says he has "no clue" where reports of interest in Salzburg midfielder Bobby Clark have come from. (Sky Sports)

Andy Robertson is still no closer to signing a new contract at Liverpool, although there is no chance the Scotland captain will be allowed to leave in January. (Football Insider)

Kevin Muscat could go on to enjoy unprecedented success at Rangers, but the Ibrox board still wouldn't deserve any credit, says former striker Kris Boyd, who believes the recruitment process has been "based on indecision and hesitancy". (Scottish Sun - subscription required)

Chris Sutton is yet to be convinced by any of the summer signings at Celtic and thinks Japanese duo Reo Hatate and Daize Maeda have been "miles off it" so far this season. (Daily Record)
