For many Rangers fans, the fact Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes rejected Rangers was one of the most positive things that happened to the club in the last few seasons. McInnes famously rejected the role at Ibrox to stay at Pittodrie back in 2017, a few months before Rangers managed to secure Steven Gerrard as club…
I wanted Derek back in 2017 but we dodged a bullet when he turned us down. Our current management team is so much better. I doubt Stoke are wanting him just now and expect Michael O’Neill to be appointed for that job.
Very glad we dodged that bullet. But I have nothing against McInnes and do not think that is a plum job. With no experience of the league it would be a big ask to keep them up and failure would be another nail in a coffin. Give it a wide berth
