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'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.
