Rangers Make Their Move for Hearts Coach Derek McInnes with Six-Figure Compensation Fee
Rangers are prepared to pay about £700,000 in compensation as Danny Rohl’s expected move to Red Bull Salzburg clears the way for McInnes.
Rangers have approached Hearts for permission to speak with manager Derek McInnes regarding the vacant head coach position, pending Danny Rohl's move to Red Bull Salzburg.
Current boss Rohl is nearing a switch to Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg, prompting Rangers to target McInnes, who previously played for the Glasgow club for five years.
Although Hearts are reluctant to lose their manager following a successful season, the club has granted permission for talks while Jamestown Analytics accelerates the search for a replacement.
With Hearts star Cammy Devlin out of contract later this month, McInnes must move quickly to potentially secure the Australia international, who is attracting interest from the MLS.
Hearts face Champions League qualifying rounds next month after finishing second in the Premiership, requiring rapid reorganization of coaching staff to maintain momentum after a record-breaking season at Tynecastle Park.
