Gers left Shanghai and dry

RANGERS remain in managerial limbo as it emerged that Kevin Muscat would not be returning to Ibrox to take over the hot seat.

It was widely believed the former Gers defender would be installed as successor to Russell Martin, who departed after their 1-1 draw at Falkirk on October 5.

There was speculation as to when Shanghai Port boss Muscat would move to Glasgow if he was appointed, as his side are bidding for the Chinese Super League title with the final games next month.

Talks between the two parties reached an advanced stage and the Govan club were prepared to make a significant commitment to get Muscat.
