Rangers have postponed the start of pre-season training for their first-team squad following the appointment of Derek McInnes as manager. The players were originally scheduled to report back to the Auchenhowie base on Monday, but have now been told to return on Thursday, when they will meet McInnes for the first time.
McInnes, 54, is currently in the United States on a family holiday and was seen among Scotland fans in Boston during the World Cup victory over Haiti. He is expected to return to Glasgow within 72 hours to begin assessing the squad and finalising summer transfer targets.
The former Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Hearts boss has agreed a three-year deal with Rangers. Club chairman Andrew Cavenagh has been in detailed discussions with McInnes about the changes he wants to implement as the club aims to return to the heights of the late 1990s.
Outgoing manager Danny Rohl thanked the club and supporters in an Instagram post, saying he believes Rangers are in a stronger position to challenge for titles. He wrote: 'It's been an incredible honour to be part of this amazing club. I'm proud of the work we all did together over the past year.'
