GRAHAM POTTER is on Rangers’ shortlist of potential replacements for Michael Beale.
Gers boss Beale faces the chop after a 1-0 Old Firm defeat at home to Celtic last Sunday.
Former Brighton boss Potter, 48, has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in April when he was 31 games into a five-year deal.
He turned down a chance to return with French club Lyon and is on the radar of the Scottish giants, who trail league-leading Hoops by four points after four Premiership games.
The Celtic loss came following a 7-3 aggregate defeat to PSV Eindhoven ended Gers’ Champions League qualification bid.
Rangers have also been linked with Birmingham boss John Eustace if they lose patience with Beale.
