Murty doesn't think he's a serious contender for Rangers job

Graeme Murty still does not think he is a serious contender for the Rangers job - but would not turn it down if it was offered to him.

The Ibrox caretaker boss has been told he will remain in charge for the next month at least after Derek McInnes snubbed Gers to remain at Aberdeen.

That shock decision has now made Murty favourite with the bookmakers to be named Pedro Caixinha's successor.

But the Under-20s boss still finds that hard to believe.

"It would be extremely difficult to turn down but that's not on the table as far I understand it," said the former Reading defender.

"I'm happy with that. I'm happy to do the job as best that I can in the interim period.

"I'll just crack on and do my job. It's for other people to decide the level I'm capable of operating at.

"Do I see this next month as a job interview? No I see it as six games to put the club in a good situation.

"If an outstanding candidate makes itself available tomorrow and the board decides to go in a different direction, I'll be beholden to them and go and do exactly as they see fit.
