Rangers boss Mark Warburton is being linked with the England U21 coaching role.

The London-born former Brentford boss is believed to be a candidate for the role vacated by Gareth Southgate's permanent shift to the England senior job.

Reports suggest that the FA would love to see former Watford youth development coach Warburton apply for the Young Lions position but he insists he is more than happy at Ibrox.

"It's very flattering to be linked to a job, especially a job of that stature, but it's a privilege to be manager here at Rangers," he said.

"We've got a big job in hand to do at this club and we're delighted to be here. There has been no discussion [about the FA post] at all.

"[Becoming manager of your national team] has to be [an ambition]. Any coach starting out on the rung has to think, 'How high can I go?'

"What is the dream job? Of course any manager will say [managing their country] is. You're talking about the highest elite level of management.

"But right now I've got a fantastic job here. Davie Weir and I have a job here and we're looking forward to doing it."

Warburton, 54, has been in Scotland with 'Gers since June 2015 and currently has the Glasgow giants sitting second on the Scottish Premiership table following last season's Scottish Championship triumph.
