Rangers fans are urging the club to consider Derek McInnes as a replacement for Philippe Clement, should the under-pressure manager be dismissed in the coming weeks.
Clement’s position has become increasingly fragile following a 3-0 defeat to Celtic at Parkhead, with Rangers winning only three of their seven league games so far this season.
The disappointing start has prompted many supporters to call for change, with some advocating for the return of former boss Steven Gerrard, who has teased a potential comeback on social media.
However, Derek McInnes has emerged as a serious contender for the role, with growing numbers of fans backing his potential appointment.
The Kilmarnock manager may not be enjoying a stellar start to the current campaign – his side have picked up just one point from their first four matches and sit bottom of the table – but many Rangers supporters believe his experience and knowledge of Scottish football make him a viable candidate.
Last season, McInnes guided Kilmarnock to an impressive fourth-place finish and has built a reputation for being a tough opponent for Celtic, something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Ibrox faithful.
In contrast, Clement has struggled to find success against Rangers’ bitter rivals, failing to register a win over Celtic in five attempts since taking the reins at Ibrox.
Rangers fans believe McInnes could offer the stability and know-how that Clement has so far failed to deliver.
Though McInnes may not be the most high-profile option, his understanding of the SPFL and its demands would be a key advantage, especially in a job that comes with the relentless pressure of managing one of Scotland’s biggest clubs.
Supporters have taken to social media to voice their support for McInnes, insisting he should be given the chance to take over if Clement’s tenure comes to an end.
