Former Rangers defender Giovanni van Bronckhorst is one of three final candidates on a shortlist to replace Steven Gerrard as manager at Ibrox.
Van Bronckhorst, who held “positive” talks with the club in London on Saturday, is still among those sporting director Ross Wilson is considering.
Talks with Van Bronckhorst were reportedly focused on the short and long-term strategy of the club and although contract terms were not discussed, it is believed the Dutchman’s values and ideas are aligned with Rangers.
The Scottish Premiership champions are very pleased and impressed with their shortlist and will hold further talks on Monday.
