Russell Martin set a British record for passes leading up to a goal while in charge of MK Dons.
The 39-year-old has been recently linked with the vacant Rangers job.
The Rangers Review revealed yesterday that while the club has yet to offer the role of head coach to any prospective appointee, the 39-year-old is the likelier candidate to replace Philippe Clement at Ibrox.

Russell Martin and Rangers: Why he's being considered, philosophy, Guardiola beliefs
Martin has previously taken charge of MK Dons, Swansea City and Southampton.
While at MK, his team played 56 consecutive passes in the lead up to a goal, a British record that was only beaten by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in 2023.
Appearing on The Rest Is Football podcast last month, Martin opened up on the move and the process involved in building a team to suit his style of play.
"Everyone says we should've scored after 12, but we went backwards," he joked.
"The boys were really proud of it. The narrative at the time was that we were in League One and the pitches weren't great. There was mistakes on the way to the process. I remember Sky Sports News showing one week we conceded a goal while playing out from the back at Portsmouth.
"It became part of their story and their narrative, and it was a team story.
"From the first day, I said, 'Listen, I'm your mate. I've been in a dressing room. It's really different for some of you, the transition, but I'll be the same'."
Rangers' new sporting director, Kevin Thelwell, said on Monday that the club aim to appoint a new head coach in the coming days.
