Ange Postecoglou has been installed as early bookies&#8217; favourite for a potential return, while Robbie Keane, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Craig Bellamy and Damien Duff are among the others thought to be in the running.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgowtimes.co.uk\/sport\/rangers?ref=au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rangers<\/a> legend McCoist has given his take on some possible candidates &#8211; including Bellamy and Duff but also putting forward another ex-Celtic player in Gary Caldwell.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He also reckons there is a strong chance O&#8217;Neill remains in place for the rest of the campaign before a permanent appointment next summer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  When Caldwell was suggested to him on talkSPORT, McCoist said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t see why not&#8221; and went on to discuss how good a job he has done at Exeter City.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Bellamy was the next name to be put forward and McCoist admitted: &#8220;Do you know something? If we were having this conversation a couple of years ago I would have thought &#8216;No way.&#8217;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;But see listening to him? The way he handles it, the way he talks about the game and his love for the game and desire to do well. I don&#8217;t think that would be daft at all.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I&#8217;ll throw another one? What about Damien Duff? I know he&#8217;s been pretty successful recently.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;From where I&#8217;m sitting I think it would make sense for Martin to stay there until the end of the season and assess the situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following Brendan Rodgers&#8216; acrimonious exit, O&#8217;Neill has been placed as temporary boss along with Shaun Maloney.
