Rangers boss Graeme Murty says it's 'business as usual' as he prepares for Hamilton game

Rangers caretaker manager Graeme Murty said he had no update on the club's search for a new boss - but suggested it would not be him.
The club declared seven days ago they expected more applications for the post that has been vacant for three weeks and would draw up a shortlist after that.
Murty could lead Rangers to three consecutive wins on Saturday when they play Hamilton - something Pedro Caixinha failed to achieve during his seven-month tenure.
Should he achieve that landmark, it has been suggested the development coach, who is in his second spell in interim command, could be given an extended spell in charge but he revealed he had not applied for the top job.
"I don't think I should have to," he said. "I'm here, I'm a Rangers employee, what role I have at the club is up to people far, far above me. So that will be down to them to choose.
"As far as I'm concerned, I will do the best at whatever job they see fit to put me in.
"It's very kind for the fans to be so positive to me. The job I do is to leave the players in a good position for whoever comes in.
"Someone will come in when they come in. I can't worry about this I have to concentrate on the players and the next game."
The former Scotland defender added: "I'm in contact with Mark (Allen, director of football) every day and nothing has changed as far as I'm concerned.
"I am just prepping and making sure the players are kept as much in the loop as possible because I don't want them feeling as if they don't know what's going on.
"They know exactly as much as I do and they are just cracking on. Their attitude has been exceptional."
Meanwhile, Murty revealed Graham Dorrans would not need surgery after seeing a specialist over an ankle problem, but the midfielder will miss the visit of Accies.
