Derek McInnes appointed Rangers manager on three-year deal

Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Derek McInnes as their new manager on a three-year contract. The former Gers midfielder returns to Ibrox after an award-winning campaign with Hearts, replacing Danny Rohl, who has left by mutual agreement to join Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.

McInnes made over 150 appearances for the Gers between 1995 and 2000 and arrives with more than 800 matches of managerial experience. He collected the PFA Scotland, SPFL and SFWA Manager of the Year awards at Hearts, and Alan Archibald, Paul Sheerin and Craig Clark will join him as part of his backroom staff.

"It is a real honour to become the manager of Rangers Football Club," McInnes said. "It is no secret that I grew up a Rangers supporter, and I am convinced this is the right time to take on this prestigious role given the club’s structure, and leadership from Andrew, the Board, and Jim.
