Rangers consider Derek McInnes if Danny Rohl departs

Rangers Football Club have placed Heart of Midlothian Football Club head coach Derek McInnes at the top of their shortlist to replace Danny Rohl. The move would only materialise if Rohl secures a deal with RB Salzburg. Danny Rohl is reportedly close to terminating his contract with Rangers Football Club as negotiations with RB Salzburg progress. The compensation discussion centres on a multi‑million‑pound figure. Rangers' shortlist also features former Premier League manager Steven Gerrard and former target Kevin Muscat alongside McInnes. The former Premier League manager considered is Steven Gerrard. Kevin Muscat is also mentioned as a possible candidate. Heart of Midlothian Football Club expect a formal approach from Rangers Football Club for Derek McInnes should Rohl depart. They anticipate the approach as part of Rangers' contingency planning. Scotland assistant head coach Steven Naismith disclosed that he nearly joined Russell Martin's coaching team at Rangers Football Club last summer but decided against it. Naismith said the timing did not feel right for him at the time. Napoli have expressed interest in Celtic Football Club midfielder Arne Engels, while Fulham Football Club, Nottingham Forest Football Club and Sunderland Association Football Club have already submitted inquiries for the 22‑year‑old. The 22‑year‑old midfielder has attracted interest from multiple English clubs. Celtic Football Club could secure Marcelo Saracchi on a reduced fee after his loan from Boca Juniors, with a Turkish club and a Major League Soccer side also showing serious interest. Saracchi's loan from Boca Juniors ends, prompting Celtic to consider a permanent deal. Bournemouth Football Club right‑back Julian Araujo is on the radar of Mexican champions Cruz Azul following his loan spell with Celtic Football Club. Araujo's performances during the loan have drawn attention from the Mexican side. Rangers Football Club are in talks with Turkish side Besiktas about a possible return for Vaclav Cerny, and they are accelerating efforts to sign Westerlo right‑back Bryan Reynolds, a 24‑year‑old USA international with one year left on his contract. Cerny previously spent time on loan at Ibrox from Wolfsburg. Aberdeen Football Club will sign Connor Ronan on a two‑year deal with an optional extra year after his exit from Colorado Rapids. Aberdeen are also considering goalkeeper Dave Richards after he rejected a new deal with Dundee United Football Club. Livingston Football Club are weighing a deal for 26‑year‑old former North Macedonia Under‑21 centre‑back Besir Iseni from Dukagjini. Everton Football Club have agreed a fee with Dundee United Football Club for 16‑year‑old striker Kai Hutchinson, after Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club and Norwich City Football Club had also tabled offers.
