Clement was sacked by the Rangers boardon Sunday evening in the wake of another damaging defeat by St Mirren at the weekend, ending a 497-day stint in charge at Ibrox.

While Rangers are yet to communicate officially their plans for the midweek trip to Rugby Park, it is being reported that Charai is working with the players ahead of the match and will be asked to step in on a caretaker basis.

Charai only arrived at Rangers last month as a No 2 to Clement. He previously worked at Strasbourg, Al-Faisaly, Beerschot, Sint-Truidense and OH Leuven, while also guiding Morocco Under-23s to Africa Cup of Nations glory.
