Alan Pardew is among the bookies favourites for the Newcastle United position.
Former Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew
Alan Pardew remains among the frontrunners to land the Rangers job, with SkyBet touting him among the top five candidates.
There is one Rangers player who is already a self confessed fan of Pardew, and may be pleased to see him land the Ibrox gig.
Just earlier this season, Windass took to Twitter to laud the manager, who was then in charge at Crystal Palace.
The winger even questioned the attitudes of Newcastle fans who had been vociferous in wanting him replaced in 2015.
Pardew was fired by Crystal Palace months later with the club battling relegation, but replacement Sam Allardyce has experienced similar struggles.
Rangers are seeking a new manager after Mark Warburton lost his job just over a fortnight ago.
The team are 30 points behind rivals Celtic, but whether Pardew is the right man to change this is up for debate.
He has a managerial win ratio of just 42 per cent, and is yet to win a major honour, finishing twice as a losing FA Cup finalist.
