Derek McInnes Appointed Rangers Manager and Breaks Silence on Move as Hearts Issue Statement
The former Hearts boss, 54, replaces Danny Rohl after Rangers agreed compensation and moved quickly to secure a three-year deal.
On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, Rangers Football Club confirmed Derek McInnes as manager on a three-year deal, replacing Danny Rohl who departed for RB Salzburg.
The lifelong Rangers supporter previously led Heart of Midlothian to a runners-up finish in the Scottish Premiership last season, earning praise from Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh for his experience.
Rangers paid £500,000 in compensation to facilitate the move, with assistants Alan Archibald and Paul Sheerin joining McInnes at Ibrox.
Club CEO Jim Gillespie stated the club is pleased to have McInnes in position early, as preparations have begun for the squad ahead of pre-season.
Tasked with bringing success back to Ibrox after a third-place finish, McInnes poses a significant threat to Celtic as Rangers seek consistent victories.
