Kenny Miller insists it would be a 'no-brainer' for him to take a coaching role at Rangers should that opportunity ever arise.
The former Gers striker enjoyed several stints at Ibrox, where his goalscoring exploits enabled him to earn fan-favourite status during his playing days.
He's now most renowned for working as a pundit across various media outlets discussing Scottish football.
He does have all of his relevant coaching badges and has some experience at Livingston and Falkirk.
It's a job he'd love to get back into, as that side of the game beats anything else he could possibly be involved in.
And he's pitched his abilities as a coach to current Rangers manager Philippe Clement.
“Absolutely yes, that has never changed," he told BoyleSports who offer the latest Old Firm odds. "I was fortunate to have a long career and played until the age of 40. Others are not that fortunate, but I was still thinking about coaching and management from the age of 30!
“It’s not changed, I want to now get back into the coaching game, whatever level that may be. I miss being on the grass, I miss being on the grass around the group.
“Being a pundit, you’re always around football watching loads of games on TV, but it doesn’t match being on the grass Monday-Friday, getting a team prepped for a Saturday.

“I'm as hungry as ever to get back into it, I went from playing in January 2020 to coaching a month later - there was no time off.
“This has been the first season since I was 16, the first time in 29 years that I’ve not been involved in a group as a player or coach. There’s a massive hunger and desire to get in and climb that ladder again.
“It would be a no-brainer to go back to Rangers, going in to try and help add value to the project. You’ve got an existing coaching and playing staff there, and you might come across somebody who you click with, then they think ‘he could be of real value to me as a head coach’.
“It’s about finding a way to help, where you could really make a difference in a specific area. It’s a big team in terms of the staff, you’ve got the players as a unit but then you need to have a strong working staff to succeed now.
“They’re under so much pressure to deliver that you can’t afford to leave any stone unturned. If there was a role like that in the future, then great, but if it was at Rangers it would be an absolute no-brainer.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
