The Gers are searching for a new manager following their dramatic split with Mark Warburton.
Graeme Murty was placed in charge of the team for Sunday's William Hill Scottish Cup fifth-round tie against Morton, but the out-of-work McLeish has emerged as an early front-runner to take the Ibrox job.
McLeish, who won two league titles in a five-year spell as Rangers manager from 2001 to 2006, admitted he would find it hard to turn down the post, should it be offered.
Speaking ahead of the Morton clash, he said: "There is a lot of speculation, but at the moment there is nothing I can update you on.
"I am a Rangers man, you have to keep that in consideration, and when you get asked to come to club like this, it is a hard decision to turn that down.
"If they come and they want to speak to me, I can only take it from there. I need to wait and see if Rangers want to talk to me first."
