Rangers chief executive Martin Bain hopes boss Walter Smith will reveal in the next few days whether he wants to remain at Ibrox next season.
The veteran manager has yet to decide whether he wants to stay with the Scottish champions and has stressed in the past that he may not have that choice to make as the Glasgow giants search for a new owner. Smith and his backroom staff have been working without contracts since January and the 62-year-old declined to confirm after Sunday's title triumph whether he intends to defend the crown.
"That's a decision for Walter and I'm sure he'll make it in the few days to come," Bain told BBC Radio Five Live.
"I think that depends on a number of factors. I think it depends, not just for Walter, but for many others at the football club."
Bain insists Smith deserves enormous credit after a 1-0 win at Hibernian secured the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title for the second year running.
"Walter Smith, his assistants and the whole team have performed tremendously well," he added.
"A second championship in a row, six trophies and a European final in three years.
"I don't think you can get any better and I don't think there's a club in the world that wouldn't take that if offered them so all testament to Walter and his team. It's just been fantastic.
"We've had our critics this season. We know that we've got great spirit and determination.
"We know that we can go on to further success but there's a number of factors that have to be discussed and until we get answers to some of those factors then we won't know what's happening."
