In all competitions, the former Victory captain has appeared in 459 games for the Melbourne club. However, having made just three A-League appearances this season - all off the bench - Broxham said it was time to end his playing career.

Muscat, the Yokohama national champion, announced his retirement on Thursday after two-and-a-half years, in his last game against Shandong Taishan in the Asian Champions League.

THE PYRAMID (WEST): Kevin Muscat, the 'dirtiest player in the land', is making a name for himself as a boss, so will he follow Ange Postecoglou's footsteps?

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 27, 2023
KINGS OF THE PYRAMID: You may recall Kevin Muscat, the player - or at least his tough tackling. During ten years at Crystal Palace, Wolves, Rangers, and Millwall, the no-nonsense Australia defender was often described as the country's dirtiest footballer. Matty Holmes, a former Charlton midfielder, was awarded £250,000 in the High Court after Muscat, then of Millwall, had a horrific challenge throughout his career. 'That's for f***ing Muscat,' Neil Warnock said as his Sheffield United team defeated Millwall after the Aussies sparked a mass brawl.' In his book The Gloves Are Off, Blades goalkeeper Paddy Kenny wrote, "I told (Muscat) to smash someone his own age."

Kevin Muscat is the current favourite with Sky Bet to replace Gary Rowett at Millwall, just weeks after the Australian boss was ruled out of the Rangers job

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 19, 2023
Millwall and boss Gary Rowett decided to part ways earlier this week after a slow start to the season, with the team only winning four out of their first 11 games. Rowett had been at the helm for four years, leading them to a top-half finish in every season until 2023-24. However, with a play-off berth to show for his relative happiness, as well as the fact that they currently sit 15th in the table, it shouldn't come as a surprise that his position as boss was no longer tenable.

Under new manager Phillippe Clement, can Rangers win the Scottish Premiership title and put an end to Celtic's domination?

Rangers are second-favourites at 11/4 to win their 56th title, while the Celtics, a cross-city rival, is overwhelming favourites at 2/9 to lift their 12th Premiership trophy in 13 seasons. Rangers are also the second-favourites behind Celtic to win the Scottish Cup, with Clement's side 5/2 odds to win Scotland's second-most prestigious title. The Scottish League Cup is the final trophy they are hoping to win. Rangers are the shortest-priced club at 15/8, followed by Hibernian, Aberdeen, and Hearts at 9/2, 5/1, and 8/1 respectively at the time of writing.

Despite being in negotiations with the club, Frank Lampard is out of contention to take over as the club's new manager... ex-Monaco coach Philippe Clement and former Gers defender Kevin Muscat have emerged as front-runners

As the club prepares to begin final-stage interviews next week, Frank Lampard is out of the running to become Rangers' manager. The ex-Chelsea, Everton, and Derby boss was open to the prospect of moving to Ibrox and is thought to have held preliminary talks.

Frank Lampard and Kevin Muscat are bookmakers' favorites to replace Michael Beale, with the Ibrox club's search likely to be stepped up after last night's humiliating 2-1 loss to Cypriots Aris Limassol in the Europa League. Since his brief spell at Club Brugge ended in March, former England international Peter Parker is out of work.

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 2, 2023
Kevin Muscat, the former and current Yokohama F. Marinos boss, has been one of the lowest priced to replace the current Rangers boss in the hours since the news was revealed. Muscat has widened to 5/2 to place second-favourite in the market, behind AZ Alkmaar's Pascal Jansen, who is 2/1. If Muscat is to be the next gaffer of the infamous Glasgow club, he would have taken an eerily similar route to former Celtic boss and current Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou.
