The former Rangers captain wants to see a manager commit to life at Ibrox long-term.
And whether it appears it will be a toss-up between Belgian coach Philippe Clement and former Rangers player and current Yokohama Marinos boss Kevin Muscat, the Ibrox hero and Record Sport columnist is looking to the long-term as the Light Blues want to avoid a repeat of Michael Beale and his predecessor Giovanni Van Bronckhorst who were both axed around the year mark of lengthy contracts in Glasgow.
He wants to see one of the aforementioned pair commit to Glasgow for at least three, but ideally five years to mount a consistent challenge to rivals Celtic. He told Go Radio: "Rangers have done the process with four or five managers, whittling it down to two and then there will be second and third interviews. That's why they have taken their time, to make sure they get it spot on. The Rangers fans will demand that.
"I look at both of them and they both have good experience. I know what type of character Muscy is, there's been a lot made of his hard man persona and he was a tough cookie on the field, but a very intelligent guy as well. He thought a lot about the game and he's went on to be a manager for eleven years now. He's no novice.
"Clement has won trophies, went to Monaco was third in the first season then they're sixth and he got dismissed. The two of them are pretty close, and whoever gets the job will get the backing of the fans. It needs to be the right guy because it's been a revolving door for too long, too many managers..I firmly believe this new manager needs to be long-term, needs to be here for the next three to five years.
