Former Bournemouth and Fulham manager Scott Parker is reportedly keen on becoming the next boss of Rangers.
The Ibrox club are on the hunt for a new manager after Michael Beale was sacked on Sunday following a string of poor results domestically and in Europe.
Steven Davis has been placed in interim charge while speculation grows regarding the next permanent appointment.
Frank Lampard, Pascal Jansen and Kevin Muscat have all been linked with the vacancy in recent days and last night two new names entered the running.
Former Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner, who won the Europa League against Rangers, has been linked. And the latest name to enter the fold is Parker, with the Daily Mail reporting that the former Newcastle and Spurs midfielder said to be keen.
Meanwhile, Interim boss Davis insists he retains confidence in the Rangers squad as he called for unity following the 2-1 Europa League defeat by Aris Limassol in Cyprus.
Ahead of the trip to St Mirren on Sunday, Davis said: “I still believe we have some real quality players. Obviously, confidence has been hit.
“You go through these periods in your career and it’s a really difficult moment.
“As I say by sticking together you make sure to do the basics right in terms of hard work and application which they have been doing.
“It’s important we continue that and things will turn because I believe in the qualities of the squad.
“We’ll get players back which will help. The most important thing is right now is us being a group together.
“It was a really difficult night because we felt a real opportunity to come here and build on the Betis game.
“I think we caused a lot of our own problems in the game. Obviously, with the two goals we give away we’re really disappointed with and when that happens you have a mountain to climb.
“Firstly I’ve got to take some responsibility. In the first half we kept trying to play in the middle of the pitch when it wasn’t really on, they were good at getting transitions from that with the pace they had up front which caused us problems all night.
“Whenever you go behind in a second half you must throw some caution to the wind at certain points.
“We tried to simplify the game really, trying to get the ball in behind, get it wide and cross the ball into the box and ultimately we didn’t do enough to take something from the game.
“In terms of the effort of the players, I thought they tried to keep going till the end and in terms of the energy they put in, I couldn’t ask for any more in that respect.
“There wasn’t a lack of effort, we’d never question that from the dressing room but it is a really difficult moment that everyone is in.
“When that happens you maybe start to make the wrong decision and things like that.
“Sunday’s coming up and it’s a really quick turnaround. We’re hurting from tonight but it’s important as a group we stick together.”
