Danny Rohl is re-emerging as the frontrunner to become the new Rangers head coach.

Sky Sports News understand talks are ongoing with the former Sheffield Wednesday boss, who had initially withdrawn from the race.

The 36-year-old was keen on landing the job and taking training last week but stepped away after becoming aware that others were ahead of him in the pecking order.

However, after talks with Kevin Muscat collapsed on Sunday night, Rohl was back in the running.

Ibrox sources insisted the club were still speaking to various candidates, despite being in advanced talks with Muscat.

It is thought an appointment could be made within the coming days, with Rangers in action on Thursday against Brann in the Europa League – a competition in which they are winless this season.

Rohl had also been sounded out over the job in the summer and did impress in recent talks with the Ibrox hierarchy.

He led Sheffield Wednesday to a 12th-placed finish in the Sky Bet Championship in his only full season as a manager before leaving the troubled Yorkshire club in July.

Previously an assistant manager at RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and with the Germany national team, he had steered Wednesday out of relegation trouble the previous campaign.
