Rangers are still on the hunt for a new manager following the sacking of Russell Martin after only 123 days in charge.

The Ibrox club were left stunned over the weekend as Steven Gerrard rejected them for a second time.

The bombshell news left the Gers board scrambling as they’ve spoken to Kevin Muscat and Danny Rohl.

One manager that’s always been linked with the Light Blues is Hearts boss Derek McInnes, who currently has his side top of the Scottish Premiership and just won Manager of the Month for September.

Former Rangers star Kris Boyd has always been a huge admirer of the Scottish manager and believes he would be the perfect fit for the Govan club. He told Sky Sports News:

“Every appointment is a risk. There’s appointments that are less of a risk and that’s why I keep going back to Derek McInnes.

“He’s showing for a number of years, what he done at Aberdeen. He went in and took a Kilmarnock team out of the Championship and was playing European football within a couple years, and he’s went to Hearts and you look at the job he’s done there, so far.

“Sometimes, I’ve said it before regarding players in Scotland, Rangers have had a snobbery towards signing Scottish players recently and it seems to be the same with managers.”

Boyd maintains that the Ibrox job is still an attractive role, despite the position they find themselves in. He added:

“I know it doesn’t look great because they’ve struggled to get a manager in right now but it’s still a fantastic football club.

“It’s still a huge institution that will continue to thrive. But it just seems if right now somebody needs to get a grip of it, and for me Derek McInnes would be that person to do that.”
