Steve Clarke has he has no intention of switching to Ibrox and taking the Rangers job.
Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke has insisted he has no plans to take the vacant Rangers job despite being tipped for the position.
Clarke was mentioned in connection with the gig Ibrox by his own player this week, Gordon Greer, who told Herald Scotland that Rangers should have appointed him earlier.
Clarke is only regarded as an outsider by the bookies, but he has sought to distance himself from the position anyway.
Clarke said: “I didn’t come here to leave. I came here to do a job. I came back to Scotland for Kilmarnock. It’s always hard to look too far into the future but it’s definitely not my intention to leave to go to another Scottish club. For me, it [the Rangers link] is a non-story because there is nothing in it.”
Clarke only took over at Kilmarnock in October, so leaving early would be premature regardless of his fast start.
Rangers sacked Pedro Caixinha a few days later, missing out on Clarke when he was available.
Killie are up to eighth in the table and this weekend they host Rangers in the lunchtime kick-off, who are looking to bounce back from a surprise loss against St Johnstone last week.
