Rangers interview Frank Lampard and put Chelsea legend on final shortlist to become new manager
Frank Lampard is on Rangers' final shortlist to become their new manager, talkSPORT understands.
Lampard was interviewed by the Rangers board earlier this week as the club close down on their options.
Michael Beale was sacked earlier this week after a string of poor performances while former Gers star Kevin Muscat is also on the managerial shortlist.
Lampard has been out of work since his interim role at Chelsea expired at the end of last season, winning just one out of 11 games.
The former England international was sacked by Everton in January earlier this year, as well, being replaced by Sean Dyche.
But he is now one of the favourites to take over at Ibrox after holding talks with the club over becoming their new manager.
However, the 45-year-old is also contending with Muscat for the role at Rangers.
The ex-Australia international spent one year with the Glasgow outfit and become renowned for his tough-tackling, even being prevented from playing the Old Firm derby because of his reputation.
As a manager, Muscat is currently in charge of Yokohama F. Marinos.
It is the same club Ange Postecoglou was manager of before joining Celtic and becoming a fan favourite, going on to sign for Tottenham this summer.
Kilmarnock's Derek McInnes and Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner have also been linked with the vacant post.
