PEDRO CAIXINHA is continuing his search for another addition to his Rangers coaching staff.

But striker Kenny Miller appears unlikely to take up a dugout position as he targets a new Ibrox deal.

Caixinha will look to bring in a right hand man with experience of life in Light Blue and knowledge of Scottish football after moving from Qatar on a two-and-a-half year deal.

Miller is out of contract at the end of the campaign and has insisted that his only focus is impressing his new boss to ensure he is part of the Portuguese’s plans next term.

Caixinha said: “We are assessing right now. We already have on list of possible candidates, I am already preparing all the points I will need to make in the interviews.

“It then be a question of assessing and next week we will start and finish the process.

“The player has a preference and Kenny, I think, wants to continue to play and that means he will continue to play. Will he be offered a new contract? I am still assessing everything.

“I need to get to know the players, I am trying to know all of them.

“I have already held some meetings with the captain and with some individuals. But I need to know them better, on the training ground, in a social sense, in a sense of clubs relations and the pressure you get in games.

“I need to know all these things because I believe you only get to know people if you work with them on a regular basis.

“Martin Canning was playing and was caretaker at Hamilton in January 2015 but I don’t believe Kenny wants to be on both sides. I am telling you that maybe he doesn’t want it.”
