Neil McCann insists he and Barry Ferguson would be up for the challenge at Rangers on a longer-term basis.
The former Light Blues winger was brought in as a coach by Ferguson, who took over the Ibrox hot seat until the end of the season, following the departure of Belgian boss Phillipe Clement in February.
Ex-Gers stars Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor were also added to the new-look coaching side which were tasked with “making improvements to the group” amidst an impending takeover of the Govan club by the US investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers.
The positive results so far include a 3-2 win over champions-elect Celtic and a Europa League penalty shoot-out win over Turkish side Fenerbahce, which set up a Europa League quarter-final clash with Athletic Bilbao, as well as a 4-3 win at Dundee last Saturday when they came from 3-1 down to win 4-3.
Ahead of the home game against Hibernian on Sunday, McCann was probed about his thoughts on the future.
“Speaking to Fergie and as a coaching staff, none of us are frightened by a challenge, not one of us,” said the former pundit.
“And if it was to be presented to us, I don’t think there’d be any of us to say, no, it’s not for us. But as I said, it’s too far in a distance to even encourage that.
“It’s not my place to tell, if it is a new ownership who comes in, who’s to get the job. What I would say is that I’ve been very impressed by how he (Ferguson) wants to work, his willingness to allow Doddsy and I a lot of say on the training field and in matches.
“A lot of people may have thought from his coaching CV that he maybe was not even ready to take this position, I think he’s proved that wrong.
“So it’s not my place to tell anybody who’s to get a job or not, as I said, all we can do is work.
“And I don’t think anybody in this building will tell you anything different.
“Of course it (performances) could have an influence, and you would hope that there’s an influence already been happening because the board felt that they had to make a change, and then a new ownership, we don’t know what that’s going to look like.
“But when a team makes a change or a board makes a change for a management team, then clearly they’re looking for a reaction immediately. They want results. And then all we can do is try and get them for them.
“But as I’ve said many, many times, we’ve got a huge game coming up against Hibs who are 15 unbeaten in the league.
“I’m delighted for David (Gray) because he’s certainly coached a very, very good side and they’ve got things going for them.”
McCann also gave an update on winger Vaclav Cerny, who missed the Dundee game with a hamstring problem. He added: “He is still working with the medical department and he’ll join us tomorrow hopefully, but we’re still unsure whether he’ll make it or not.”
