Rangers manager Walter Smith has admitted that he could lose his job if a takeover of the SPL giants is successful.

Smith's current deal runs out in January and he is not looking any further ahead than that.

He said: "If a new owner comes in, he might want to change the manager. There's no point me doing anything other than what I'm doing at the moment until the club's situation has cleared up.

"We said in January that the players were up for sale, so how can the manager then say he's in a safe position when the club are in this situation?

"My contract expires in January and, in the normal run of circumstances, someone would leave then.

"So if the board ask me to stay on, I'd consider it if the club's circumstances have not changed.

"If there's a new buyer and they want someone else to take charge, then I'd be happy to go, as long as it's the best thing for Rangers."
