Barry Ferguson has tipped Neil McCann to take up a coaching role at Rangers.
New manager Philippe Clement yesterday revealed that he would shape his backroom staff at the club in the next few weeks.
Stephen van der Heyden will be brought in as assistant boss, that much has been confirmed.
But Clement said during his unveiling that he would be looking to add someone to his coaching team with a strong knowledge of Scottish football.
Steven Davis was helped by Alex Rae and Steven Smith as he took interim charge of the club following Michael Beale's sacking. It remains to be seen if the trio could play a part in the first-team fold moving forward.
And Ferguson believes his old teammate McCann would be the ideal fit for what Clement is looking for.
He told the Go Radio Football Show: "I like that because he's not showing an arrogance that he's just going to bring his staff in. He understands he needs somebody who's got the knowledge of Scottish football, who's been to places like Tynecastle, Easter Road, Pittodrie.
"One that jumps out at me would be Neil McCann. I think he would be perfect for it. Davo is still trying to get back from his serious knee injury, I don't know how that's going on but I think in time Davo will become a coach or a manager.
"I think the club are definitely going to go down that route and I think it's important that you have people round about the club who have been there, seen it and done it. It will be interesting to see who it's going to be, he says he's going to take his time which I think is the right thing to do."
