GRAEME MURTY insists the position of Rangers boss is still one that managers should covet as the Ibrox board continue their search for a next man at the helm.

The 42-year-old took charge of the Gers against Morton last weekend just hours after Mark Warburton, David Weir and Frank McParland left the club.

Managing Director Stewart Robertson confirmed this week that Rangers are considering a Director of Football and Head Coach model as they look for Warburton’s successor.

And caretaker boss Murty believes the chance to lead the Light Blues is one that still appeals as Rangers continue on the road to recovery.

He said: “As I said previously it would be incredibly arrogant for me with my coaching background to think that I had a chance of being the permanent manager of Rangers.

“Some of the names that have been mentioned are stellar names and quite rightly because this club deserves a stellar manager.

“If it works out - then fantastic. I’ll do the best I can until I’m told otherwise.

“I’m not looking any further than two weeks from now.

“If it’s not one they covet then it should be. Every occasion I’ve been to Ibrox has been awe-inspiring and I’ve been to some of the best stadiums in the world.

“My brother in law is a Newcastle United fan and he came to an Old Firm game at Ibrox and was absolutely blown away.

“If you don’t covet the Rangers job then have a think about what it is and realise the opportunity that is there to put this club back at the top of Scottish football. I’ve no doubt that is what is going to happen.”

Having marked his dugout debut with a Scottish Cup win at Ibrox, Murty will now bid for his first Premiership win against Dundee tomorrow afternoon.

The Under-20 boss will continue to take the team for as long as he is asked by the Ibrox board but isn’t considering a long-term future at the helm at present.

Murty said: “I came to Scotland to distil that (whether I want to be a manager) in my own mind. I got a little bit stuck at Norwich between youth development and coaching.

“I put myself on the Pro Licence here and I have given myself a couple of years to decide if I have a coaching philosophy that I can take to a club.

“The best managers I’ve worked with and seen have a clear idea of how they want every day to look and how they want their club to look.

“I was working towards a club philosophy in the academy and I’m still distilling that in my mind.

“I have to decide if my future is in development or coaching a first-team. I’ve been put in a situation where I’m getting to look at it.”
