Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers are currently being managed by Graeme Murty following the departure of Pedro Caixinha from the Gers.

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has suggested to BT Sport that Rangers should not appoint Graeme Murty as the permanent manager.

Murty is in charge of Rangers at the moment, having been placed as the first-team manager on an interim basis following the dismissal of Pedro Caixinha.

Former Celtic striker Sutton does not believe that Murty should be given the managerial role at Ibrox on a permanent basis.

The former Chelsea striker has suggested that Rangers should appoint Alex McLeish if they are unable to get Derek McInnes from Aberdeen.

Sutton told BT Sport: “Do I think McInnes should be? Yes, if not McInnes, then maybe McLeish. Just make your mind up, the Rangers board. Not Murty.”

Former Rangers midfielder Kevin Thomson is open to a role at Gers and told BT Sport when asked if he would like to be part of the new management team at Ibrox: “I would like to.”

Rangers are fourth in the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 24 points from 14 matches.

The Gers are as many as nine points behind leaders and Old Firm rivals Celtic, who are set to win the league title yet again this season.

Rangers will return to action this evening when they take on Aberdeen at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership.

The Gers need to win this evening in order to maintain their challenge for the runners-up spot in the league table this season.
