According to Ross McCormack, Derek McInnes might be the ideal Rangers manager.
In the event that the club fires Philippe Clement, the Kilmarnock manager is reportedly the front-runner to take his place at Ibrox. [October 31, Football Scotland]
The Belgian is still in charge even though the Gers are 11 points behind Celtic, the league leaders.
BBC commentator McCormack stated at 39:05 on the Open Goal Podcast (November 26): “I think McInnes would get Rangers beating every other team in the league and then one off games against Celtic, you never know.”
“It depends on the Rangers’ perspective. Rangers will sit there if they believe they have a large number of players on their roster who won’t leave because, say, their pay is too high. They may need to sell all of their players in two or three windows.
They won’t be spending money to lure other players in if that’s the case. If so, Derek McInnes seems like the ideal candidate to help them get through that difficult time before looking at a more well-known name.
At Rangers, Derek McInnes would provide steadiness.
If the Gers are looking for stability and experience in the Scottish Premiership, McInnes might be the best manager for them.
Having won the Scottish First Division with St. Johnstone, the Scotsman has proven his capacity to win championships and has an impressive record in Scottish football.
Additionally, his accomplishment of winning the Championship with Kilmarnock enhances his credentials by demonstrating his ability to lead teams at different levels.
McInnes has gained a great deal of expertise in the SPFL over the years, managing clubs and earning a reputation for sound strategy and player development.
Because of his background, Rangers can trust him, particularly if they’re thinking about taking a break to rebuild and let go of high-paid players.
His steady play and in-depth knowledge of the Scottish game may provide the Ibrox team the stability they need to get through a difficult time.
