Kevin Thomson says he needs a challenge that excites him if the Rangers hero is to take up a management gig.
After youth coaching experience at the Ibrox club alongside Rangers TV commentary duties, he took over at League Two club Kelty Hearts last season, guiding them to the fourth tier title. He was widely expected to lead them in League One after his style of football won plaudits in his maiden senior term but provided a shock when he left with nothing imminent lined up.
Thomson - who featured for Rangers between 2007-2010 - has been linked with becoming boss at Premiership side Motherwell, who are hunting a successor for Graham Alexander after his exit. He hasn't shut down talk of that move and says it's all about taking up an invigorating opportunity.
Speaking to Open Goal, he said: "I want the right job. I don't want to be that kind of person who applies for every job and is on that sort of merry-go-round.

"That's not me saying that I'm any different from anyone else but I want to present myself well because of where I want to get to.
"I took a risk going to Kelty as much as they took a risk on me really, and not many people would've left a full-time job at Rangers to go and take a part-time gig in League Two.
"I've taken calculated risks in that period. I've put a lot of hard work into a five or six year period so to potentially throw that away for maybe not the right job would certainly be naive."
