Derek McInnes has been appointed as Rangers' new manager and aims to secure the Scottish Premiership title quickly, expressing his commitment to the club and its fans.
Derek McInnes has been appointed as the new manager of Rangers and is determined to lead the club to Scottish Premiership glory as soon as possible. McInnes, who has a rich history with Rangers both as a former player and supporter, expressed his sense of belonging and readiness to tackle the challenge of returning the club to the top of Scottish football. "It's a very special moment for myself and my family," McInnes stated during his presentation. "Having known the club for a long time, I am well aware of the responsibility that being manager brings."

McInnes's appointment comes after Rangers' previous manager, Danny Rohl, departed for Salzburg following a brief but tumultuous tenure. Under Rohl, Rangers were in the title race but ultimately finished third, continuing a challenging period for the club that has seen them win only one title in the last 15 years. McInnes signed a three-year contract through 2029 and is eager to change the club's fortunes. "The intention is to win the title as quickly as possible," he emphasized, highlighting the urgency to deliver success to the Rangers faithful.
Rangers will begin their Scottish Premiership campaign with an opening match against Dundee United on July 31. With McInnes at the helm, the club and its fans hope for a resurgence in form and a return to the dominance they last experienced in the 2020-21 season.
