Steven Davis and Neil McCann are in a two-way fight to become Rangers boss Danny Rohl\u2019s<\/a> right-hand man in the dugout.<\/p>\n The new Ibrox head coach is looking to add a former player to his coaching staff to work alongside Sascha Lense and Matthias Kaltenbach.<\/p>\n Record Sport <\/strong>broke the story earlier this month that Davis was the man that the German was keen to bring in.<\/a><\/p>\n The Rangers<\/a> board has also put forward possible candidates, including McCann, who impressed when he was an assistant coach to interim boss Barry Ferguson.<\/p>\n Former Ibrox captain Lee Wallace<\/a>, who is now at Hearts, has also been recommended to Rohl by his former Sheffield Wednesday player Josh Windass.<\/p>\n Davis is currently part of Michael O\u2019Neill\u2019s Northern Ireland backroom team.<\/p>\n Rohl has ruled nothing in or out and has an open mind to any appointment.<\/p>\n The former Sheffield Wednesday boss is currently taking a few days to look at his options, consider all the candidates, where they fit into his backroom team and if they are available.<\/p>\n Rohl, speaking on his appointment, confirmed: \u201cI will try to bring a former Rangers player with a good background here as well because for me it\u2019s important to take this advantage from a guy who knows Rangers, who knows the league, why should I not use this?<\/p>\n \u201cThis would be a perfect set up for me.<\/p>\n \u201cI have three or four candidates in mind. I collect the information, I think it\u2019s also important to have the right person to your coaching team but I think at the end we will make a good decision.\u201d<\/p>\n McCann could actually have been in as an assistant if Kevin Muscat had taken the job.<\/p>\n The Ibrox side agreed terms with the Australian but pulled the plug after he refused to leave title chasing Shanghai Port until the end of the Chinese season.<\/p>\n That sequence of events then led to Rangers re-opening dialogue with Rohl.<\/p>\n McCann confirmed that he had a long-standing agreement in place with Muscat.<\/p>\n McCann, speaking to BBC Scotland, confirmed: \u201cAll speculation. No one from the club spoke to me about that.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin is an ex-teammate of mine, yeah, we\u2019ll have discussions that if he was ever going to maybe look at coming to Rangers then he asked me if I would have been part of that set up.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, I think everybody put two and two together, but there was never a stage where I was contacted by the club to say, \u2018Right, get your suit looked out again from last season, you\u2019re going back in.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Follow Record Sport<\/strong> on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.<\/p>\n You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers<\/a> page, and sign up to our newsletters<\/a> to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.<\/p>\n We’re also on WhatsApp where we bring all the latest breaking news and transfer gossip directly to you phone.
