Danny Rohl wants to hand Steven Davis a key role if he lands the Rangers job.
The former Sheffield Wednesday boss has already been interviewed and has impressed Ibrox chiefs.
Rohl is very much on the shortlist to become Russell Martin’s successor, along with Kevin Muscat, who is currently at Chinese title chasers Shanghai Port.
The 36-year-old has a backroom team in mind and has also told Ibrox chiefs that he also wants to add a former Rangers presence to his team.
Record Sport can reveal the man he has identified is former Ibrox captain Davis.
He will make his move if Rangers decide that Rohl is the man they want to take them forward.
Davis currently has a key coaching role under Michael O’Neill with the Northern Ireland national team.
He had two spells with Rangers and is highly-regarded amongst the Rangers support and also held the caretaker manager’s job after Michael Beale was sacked.
When Rohl went into Wednesday, he brought in Chris Powell as his assistant, as he knew the English Championship.

Former Rangers player Andy Halliday had also suggested another Rangers captain Lee Wallace for a backroom role under Rohl.
That has been put to Rohl by his former Sheffield Wednesday player Josh Windass.
Rohl has a wealth of coaching experience at Red Bull Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich and with the German national team.
The German is classed as a top class coach and did an extremely good job at Sheffield Wednesday, under the backdrop of different challenges behind the scenes.
He was on Rangers’ radar in the summer but the £2.5 million compensation package due to Wednesday put them off.
Rohl left the Owls earlier this season and so this time there is no compensation.
