What happened. Derek McInnes was appointed Rangers manager on 17 June, replacing Danny Rohl. After a sluggish start that brought Ibrox jeers and failure to qualify for Europe for the first time in a decade, a six-game winning streak including two Old Firm derby victories has quietened talk of crisis.
- McInnes grew up a Rangers supporter, played for the club, and previously turned down the manager's job.
- His first game ended 1-1 at Dundee United, with Thelo Aasgaard scoring a second-half equaliser.
- A huge squad overhaul took place during his brief but busy tenure.
“It is no secret that I grew up a Rangers supporter and I am convinced this is the right time to take on this prestigious role.”
— Derek McInnes
Rangers enter the international break in a good place after two wins over Celtic, with McInnes' revival gaining momentum.
