Craig Moore has revealed he is an interested onlooker on Rangers' sporting director situation - but confirmed he has not held talks over the position.
The former Ibrox star had been linked as a possible replacement for Ross Wilson in the role.
Wilson left Rangers earlier this year to join Nottingham Forest. And Michael Beale has taken on added responsibility over transfers with no replacement yet appointed.
The Rangers manager has been open about his happiness to work with or without a sporting director.
And Moore admits it's a fascinating situation at the club as he cited his experience in similar roles.
He told the Daily Record: "Being an agent or a director of football is very similar. You’re looking at players, recruiting players, growing your network, negotiate.
"The role that I did in Australia was dealing with salary caps and budgets, I set up a medical department, built and started up the academy.
"We qualified for the Asian Champions League, we sold younger players - all the things you are expected to do as a director of football.
"I guess, what are Rangers going to do in that space is very, very interesting because clearly there’s a big restructure going on.
"And that’s going to happen on and off the field. So I’ve certainly been following what’s happening there because it’s an area where I am kind of interested. It’s an area I have worked in before.”
Despite Moore's remarks on the role, he has not held any talks over a possible move to Ibrox.
"Not at this moment in time," he said of any talks with James Bisgrove or John Bennett.
"Obviously James Bisgrove is the new CEO, we’ve had communication but not about any particular roles as such.
"I haven’t spoken to John Bennett, the new chairman, so to answer your question, have I spoken to anyone in an influential position that is maybe making decisions at the football club? No."
On the sporting director state of play, Beale said in April: "If the club deems fit that we should have another sporting director then that's a good model for the club because it's a wide-reaching role at Rangers. It has an overseeing of line managing the academy staff, the women's staff, not just the first-team manager. It's recruitment, everybody that comes in, it's the buffer between those heads of department and the board.
"That's how a lot of clubs work now. Five or 10 years ago maybe it wasn't the norm in the UK but now it very much is. In the short-term am I able with the head of recruitment and all of the line managers to do their jobs, of course I am.
"Once we get through the summer window or we get into the summer if the club deems that it feels good the way that it is at the moment then no problem.
"I have got no problem working alone or with a sporting director."
