I'd argue that Muscat's loyalty to his current club is a positive trait. And there are great value signings to be had in the Asian market, so his knowledge in that area could be a real positive.

 

What do we do for the next few months though? There's too much at stake for us to have a rookie caretaker manager over that period.

The league race maybe over before December 5th but your concerns are valid. I share those concerns but I think we would regret not getting him. The rise of Ange in the EPL will only cast the spotlight further on Muscat IMO and someone will grab him in England.

 

Knowledge of this market could be a game changer IMO.

Seems 5 names under consideration. Clement, Muscat & probably Knutsen are 3. Dunno who other 2 are. I suspect Glasner might be one of them.

Immediate availability may rule out Muscat if he’s staying in Japan til December

I cant

I can't see Knutsen leaving Norway tbh.

Ibrox Noise now saying Muscat out of contention. The list has shortened

He knocked back Ajax IIRC. 
The Norwegian league still has 2 months left so if he’s not available until then he might not be under consideration after all

Pretty sure them and Rangers news are either run by Celtic fans or are just massive Rangers apologists.

Someone on the Heart and Hand podcast made a very good point about hiring Muscat, a lot of the Japanese players contracts are up in December and Muscat would potentially have great knowledge and pull for the players that would be worth signing on a free. It's possible that it could swing the appointment in his direction as it's clear we badly need to fresh players even after the summer investment.
