Giovanni van Bronckhorst remains under pressure in the Rangers hotseat.

The Dutchman has been on holiday this week following the start of the domestic World Cup break in Scotland.

The Light Blues went into the break off the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw against St Mirren last Saturday.

This ultimately left the Ibrox club nine points behind Celtic in the Premiership title race.

Understandably, this led to increased calls for Van Bronckhorst to be removed from his position as the club's manager. 

As well as their poor league form of late, Rangers also earned the unwanted tag of becoming the worst ever side to compete in the Champions League group stages under Van Bronckhorst's watch.

While he is feeling the pressures of the job, he remains in position as things stand. 

But that hasn't stopped the rumour mill flowing as to who Rangers fans, who want him out, would like to replace him. 

One name which has been strongly floated about in recent days is former Ibrox player Kevin Muscat.

The ex-defender is enjoying his time with Yokohama F. Marinos, having won the J-League last season.

He took over the reins of the Japanese club from now Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.

Now, while speculation surrounding Van Bronckhorst's future continues to swirl, Muscat has caught up with fellow Australian and former Gers teammate Craig Moore.

Moore shared a photo of the pair on his social media accounts.

He wrote: "Just caught up with this guy. First time in a couple of years we have both been back same time in Oz.

"Tells me he won the league in Japan. Great to catch up with Musky."
