FORMER Brighton and Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has expressed interest in the Rangers vacancy.
Herald Sport revealed exclusively a fortnight ago that the Uruguayan had put his name forward as a potential replacement for the sacked Pedro Caixinha.
And the 49-year-old has now told the Daily Star that he would consider the job, but admitted there has been no contact from the Gers yet.

He said: “I would [be interested in the Rangers job].
“Nobody has called me and nobody has said anything but it is one of the jobs I would be interested in.”
Poyet has been out of work since leaving Chinese club Shanghai Shenua in September.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham midfielder previously led Brighton to the League One title and Championship play-offs, before guiding Sunderland to the League Cup final and 14th place in the Premier League.
He has since had spells with AEK Athens and Real Betis before one season in China.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
