Rangers have named Derek McInnes as their new first-team manager on a three-year contract, bringing along Scotland international striker Lawrence Shankland from Hearts in a move that reshapes the power dynamics at the top of Scottish football.
The dual appointment represents a calculated raid on one of their domestic rivals. McInnes and Shankland worked together at Hearts, where the striker served as captain. Now they’ll reunite at Ibrox as Rangers attempt to rebuild following the departure of former manager Danny Röhl.
