Mark Warburton has denied claims he is in talks with Fulham over replacing Kit Symons as manager at Craven Cottage.
The former Brentford boss is overwhelming favourite to take over at Glasgow Rangers but recent reports have muddied the water in that respect.
However, the 52-year-old has insisted he is not speaking to the Whites over the job and believes it to be disrespectful to Kit Symons.
He told GetWestLondon : “I find these reports disrespectful. There's no truth in them whatsoever.
“Kit Symons has done a fantastic job at Fulham and I'm disappointed to see these allegations. I have not spoken to Fulham at all.”
Warburton and assistant David Weir have been highly touted for several jobs around the country after the work they did at Brentford.
After replacing Uwe Rosler, who left for Wigan, in December 2014 the pair guided the Bees to promotion from League One for the first time since 1992.
In their first season in the Championship, they defied all expectations and finished fifth before losing 5-1 on aggregate to Middlesbrough in the play-off semi finals.
This was despite the club announcing in February that the duo would leave the club at the end of the season after disagreeing with owner Matthew Benham on the way the club was moving forward and the Bees have subsequently appointed Marinus Dijkhuizen.
Fulham, on the other hand, suffered their worst season in over a decade. After relegation from the Premier League under Felix Magath they suffered an awful start before sacking the German in September.
Symons steadied the ship as caretaker before being handed the reins on a full-time basis and he ensured the Whites stayed in the Championship but fans were unhappy at the manner of which it was secured leaving him under pressure.
Is Kit Symons still the right man for Fulham?
