Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are on the hunt for a new manager to replace Pedro Caixinha.

Alan Pardew, Manager of Crystal Palace looks on during the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Chelsea at Selhurst Park on December 17, 2016 in London, England.

Joey Barton has questioned whether Alan Pardew would be willing to take the Glasgow Rangers job.

Pardew has been out of work since his departure from Crystal Palace from 2016, but he has been linked with the vacant position at Ibrox.

Rangers are searching for a new manager, following the departure of Pedro Caixinha, and Pardew is the latest name to be linked with the job.

Barton has suggested that Pardew could be a good appointment for Rangers, but he has asked whether the 56-year-old would move north of the border.

Pardew has worked as a pundit a lot recently, but he is understood to be keen to return to management.

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes still remains the bookies’ favourite to land the Rangers job, but the interest in Pardew is intriguing.

Rangers were led to victory by caretaker boss Graeme Murty at the weekend, as they beat Hearts 3-1 at Murrayfield.

Rangers are currently in third place in the Scottish Premiership table, and sit six points behind league leaders Celtic.
