Rangers boss Mark Warburton "bemused" by Wigan Athletic rumours

Rangers boss Mark Warburton has admitted that he is "bemused" by rumours linking him with the vacancy at Wigan Athletic.

The Championship outfit are looking for a new leader following the sacking of Gary Caldwell, who oversaw just two wins in 14 Championship games this season.

Warburton, who was appointed Rangers boss in June last year, has been touted as a contender for the role at the DW Stadium, but the man himself has rubbished the speculation.

"I'm bemused by the rumours about Wigan," BBC Sport quotes Warburton as saying. "I don't know where these stories come from."

Meanwhile, Warburton has revealed that he has already begun thinking about transfer targets for January.
