Kevin Muscat 'could end up in Premiership' as true feelings on the world Rangers live in teased by inner circle
In-demand Kevin Muscat could move to Scotland for his next job – 12 months after missing out on the Rangers gig to Philippe Clement.
That is according to the Australian's Shanghai Port assistant Ross Aloisi as he opened up on the steps that await Muscat away from the Chinese Super League after claiming the league title. Former Ibrox midfielder Muscat was in the running to takeover the Premiership giants following the sacking of Michael Beale last year - but the Ibrox board opted to go for Belgian boss Clement.
Despite running the gauntlet at Rangers amid poor results and lacklustre performances, the bigwigs in Govan opted to stick with Clement going into the international break. But with the the Light Blues trailing Aberdeen and Celtic by nine points, the pressure hasn't completely cleared on the boss with some fans keen to see Muscat given a chance in the hot seat.

And speaking to aleagues.com.au, Aloisi notably name-checked the the Scottish top flight as a potential destination for Muscat as he mapped out his allies career trajectory: “Where will he end up? Anywhere. He can coach anywhere. It’s not just football, it’s the psychology behind everything. The tactical side of things, it’s not just the training session. To play the football he wants to play, there’s a lot of work that goes into it. Video.
“His thought process on analysis and the way he presents to players is something I’ve never seen before, because he thinks of the way a player thinks, so visual. The way he speaks to players before the game, at half-time – it’s an art. A lot of people don’t have that art.
He could end up anywhere – in Saudi Arabia, the EPL (English Premier League), Scottish Premiership), Europe somewhere at a big club. Everything I’ve said there sums up what type of coach I believe he is. He gets the best out of people but he demands a lot. He’s not rude in the way he does it."
